Role of private sector in Finland's development cooperation. Presentation prepared by Mika Vehnämäki (Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland) in July 2016.
Finland’s development policy has been outlined in the Government Report on Development Policy, published in February 2016. The goal of Finnish development policy is to reduce poverty and inequality. Finnish development policy lays particular emphasis on the rights of women and girls and on the strengthening of the developing countries' own economies to promote employment, livelihoods and well-being. The priorities also include the democracy and the functioning of societies, as well as access to food, water and energy, and the sustainable use of natural resources.
Suomen kehityspolitiikka on linjattu hallituksen selonteossa helmikuussa 2016. Suomen kehityspolitiikan keskeinen tavoite on köyhyyden ja eriarvoisuuden vähentäminen. Suomen kehityspolitiikassa painottuvat erityisesti naisten ja tyttöjen oikeudet sekä kehitysmaiden omien talouksien vahvistaminen työpaikkojen, elinkeinojen ja hyvinvoinnin lisäämiseksi. Painopisteisiin kuuluvat myös yhteiskuntien demokraattisuus ja toimintakyky sekä ruoan, veden ja energian saatavuus ja luonnonvarojen kestävä käyttö.
Riktlinjerna för Finlands utvecklingspolitik har dragit upp i statsrådets redogörelse i februari 2016. Målet för Finlands utvecklingspolitik är att minska fattigdom och ojämlikhet.
Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
