The Ministry for Foreign Affairs has granted EUR two million to Finnish civil society organisations (CSOs) linked with the UN for their basic operations and development communication and global education activities. In this application round, support was granted to six CSOs.
The objective of the support is to raise awareness and knowledge in Finland of the UN and its specialised agencies and their goals as well as of Finland's activities in the UN as part of the international rules-based system. Through the support, the organisations will advance the objectives of Finland's development policy in a number of sectors. The support is granted from the development cooperation appropriations for Finnish CSOs’ development cooperation.
