Humanitarian assistance monitoring visits and advocacy

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.

Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland uses 50 000 euros to humanitarian assistance monitoring visits and advocacy. In order to monitor the delivery and effectiveness of humanitarian assistance, the Unit for Humanitarian Assistance and Policy KEO-70 organizes monitoring visits, maintains active dialogue with humanitarian organizations (incl. visits to the Headquarters) and exchanges information and experiences with other donors and stakeholders. KEO-70 plans to conduct 15 monitoring and advocacy visits in 2023. The funds allocated for monitoring visits and advocacy will be used also to relevant training, planning and external studies. These activities are especially relevant in 2023 as Finland chairs the Food Assistance Convention and co-chairs the Good Humanitarian Donorship group.
