Finland has been supporting humanitarian mine action since the 1990s, and it is an integral part of Finland’s foreign, security and development policies.

The 2026 Call focuses on humanitarian mine action in Ukraine, Syria and Palestine and on global support for humanitarian mine action.

Support to INGOs is discretionary government funding granted by the Ministry and subject to annual parliamentary approval in Finland. The Act on Discretionary Government Transfers (Valtionavustuslaki 688/2001)  (unofficial translation in English) is applied to all INGO support procedures and the use of the grants.
