Description What is done in the programme or project and why, what results are pursued, who benefits from the activities and who are involved in the implementation.

Finland contributes 2 million euros to UNFPA operations in Ukraine. In Ukraine, 17.7 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance. Due to Russia’s aggression and massive forced displacement, gender-based violence and risks related to sexual and reproductive health have increased. UNFPA’s humanitarian appeal for Ukraine for 2022 is 47.8 million dollars and needs will continue to increase. Aid is targeted especially to services for sexual and reproductive health, gender-based violence prevention and response. UNFPA is Finland’s reliable and longstanding partner.
