Aiming for permanent change Permanent change in developing countries can only be achieved through persistent cooperation with local communities and people.

For human rights, against poverty The reduction of poverty requires achieving peace and the realisation of human rights. Through our projects, we work to ensure both. We encourage decision-makers and all Finns to address structures that induce poverty, violence and human rights violations.

The share of domestic operations and general administration is about 15 percent. Most of our assistance goes to Africa. The need for assistance on the continent has been caused and maintained by political instability, prolonged crises and natural disasters.
