Advancing the rights of women and girls constitutes one of four major priority areas for Finland’s international development policy. Finland’s development objectives for gender equality include improved access for women and girls to inclusive, quality education; expanded basic health and social services, including for sexual and reproductive health; and services to fight violence, abuse and human trafficking. The rights of children and the most vulnerable, notably persons with disabilities, and climate change are taken into account in all activities. Technology and innovation are important topics for Finland along with peace and security, in particular youth, peace and security.  

Finland prioritizes support to UNFPA’s core funding, which is considered the most efficient investment in the Fund, as it enables long-term planning, flexible responses to emerging priorities, and sustainable support for human rights-based programmes that improve the lives of women and young people in developing countries. In addition, Finland supports UNFPA Innovation Fund, humanitarian efforts as well as specific projects and initiatives.

Other key areas for collaboration with Finland include: support to UNFPA’s activities in Somalia, contributions to UNFPA’s innovation work and support to UNFPA’s humanitarian response in Syria.
