Be Part of Building Cooperation Between Finland and Southern Africa
The Finnish Southern Africa Cooperation Institute (FSAI) builds long-term cooperation between Finland and Southern Africa in the fields of science, education, culture, business and society. Individuals, organisations, companies, universities, churches and foundations are all welcome to participate in FSAI’s activities in ways that best suit their interests and expertise. Cooperation is built on openness, partnership and a shared commitment to strengthening the connections between Finland and Southern Africa.
