Toimintamandattiin

Toimintamandattiin is a Finnish term used to describe the delegation of an operational mandate to a person, body, or organization. The word combines toiminta (activity, operation) with mandaatti (mandate), and the suffix -iin marks the passive past tense in Finnish. In Finnish public and organizational language, toimintamandattiin signals that an authority has issued a directive to grant operational powers to another actor to carry out defined tasks.

The concept centers on the transfer of practical authority to act within a defined remit, rather than on political mandate or strategic direction. It is typically encountered in formal documents, meeting minutes, contracts, or regulatory texts that describe delegated operational responsibilities. The term is functional and context-dependent; its precise significance depends on the issuing body’s statutes, charters, and procedures.

Related terms include toimivalta (operational authority), mandaatti (mandate), and delegaatio (delegation). The noun form toimintamandatti can appear in some contexts, but toimintamandattiin is the standard past passive form when referring to a past delegation.
