The Ministry for Foreign Affairs has granted EUR 10 million for the human rights work of international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) for 2025–2026, said the Ministry in a press release on Monday.
The funding promotes Finland’s foreign and security policy and development policy objectives.
“A well-functioning democracy, the rule of law, human rights and a vibrant civil society are prerequisites for sustainable social development,” said Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Ville Tavio.
Support was granted to nine international non-governmental organisations operating in developing countries.
The project activities funded by Finland focus on gender equality and the rights of persons with disabilities, among other themes.
The funding was granted through an open call for discretionary government grant applications made in autumn 2024. Altogether 56 applications were submitted.
