We work with the poorest people, regardless of their religious beliefs, ethnic background or political convictions. As a civil society actor, FCA realizes its mission and vision through development cooperation, humanitarian assistance, and advocacy work.

FCA contributes to positive change by supporting people in the most vulnerable situations within fragile and disaster-affected areas. The main funding sources are from the Government of Finland, global institutional donors such as various UN agencies, bilateral donor agencies, and the EU, and private persons and companies. FCA enjoys Core Humanitarian Standards (CHS) certification and is a member of the ACT Alliance.

With a commitment to bring about positive development through collaboration, FCA has been supporting development work in Nepal since the 1980s and has had an in-country presence since 2013. The long-term change that FCA wants to see in Nepal is that marginalized women and youth are socio-economically empowered and enjoy a decent living. FCA’s work in Nepal focuses on livelihood and education, both as long-term development projects and disaster response and recovery programs. The peace theme is integrated throughout the programme with all projects having a clear focus on social inclusion, participation, and non-discrimination. The current Nepal country programme is implemented in Bagmati, Madhesh, Karnali, and Sudurpaschim Provinces.
