Finn Church Aid (FCA)

Compiled from public sources

Finn Church Aid (FCA) is Finland's largest international aid organisation, with over 70 years of experience in humanitarian assistance, development cooperation, and advocacy. Operating in some of the world's most fragile contexts, FCA works with vulnerable people, focusing on the rights to peace, quality education, and sustainable livelihood. In 2018, FCA established FCA Investments Ltd (FCAI) as a new investment company. FCAI specifically focuses on investing in small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) in developing countries, particularly in Africa and Asia. Its mandate is to create jobs and contribute to sustainable development by providing patient capital and support to growth-oriented and sustainable SMEs, often through direct investments and commitments to impact-focused funds. FCAI operates as a revolving fund, aiming to achieve development impacts rather than primarily generating wealth for its owner.
