“In 2018, Kepa and the Finnish NGDO Platform to the European Union, Kehys, formed the new umbrella organisation: Finnish Development NGOs – Fingo. Kehys used to be a member of the transparency register (ID number: 00358354936-30) Fingo functions as an umbrella organisation of 250 member organisations working in the areas of sustainable development, development cooperation and global citizenship education. Our core tasks include training, advocacy and communications. We believe that knowledge drives sustainable development. That's why Fingo works hard to strengthen and amplify people’s understanding of the solutions that are available – and challenges decision makers to act, while encouraging individuals and communities to actively participate.”
