Regional State Administrative Agencies 

We promote the realisation of basic rights and legal protection, accessibility of health and social services, sustainable use of the environment, domestic safety and healthy and safe living and working environments in our operating areas. We also implement, direct and enforce laws in our operating areas.   

Our operations are governed by legislation and eight ministries. We act as the regional representative of these ministries and perform duties assigned to us by them.
