The action plan for the administrative branch of the Ministry of Education and Culture has been prepared for the implementation of the Government's Africa Strategy. The aim of the strategy is to develop and diversify political and economic relations between Finland and African countries. The branch of administration of the Ministry of Education and Culture play an important role in this. Through the actors within the administrative branch of the Ministry of Education and Culture, it is also possible to diversify the image of the African continent within the Finnish society, as well as strengthen Finland's image as an innovative country for co-creation and increase its attractiveness as a country for studies and work.
The action plan for the administrative branch of the Ministry of Education and Culture seeks to contribute to achieving the goals of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development together with African countries, by promoting education, research and skills, culture, cultural understanding and the creative industries, as well as social cohesion and the civil society. The core premise is the understanding that Africa is a politically, economically and culturally diverse continent, with countries playing a leading role in matters of their own development. Ownership and commitment from African countries is central to all cooperation.
The action plan has been prepared with the support of a broad-based working group and in consultation with stakeholders. Actors within the Ministry of Education and Culture’s branch of administration have a key role to play in implementation.
