Background
Established in January 2016, the Finish Agenda 2030 Working Group evolved from development-oriented post-2015 Task Force in Finland, with the intention of broadening the membership to other sectors. It was originally set up by Kehys and Kepa , both development platforms (now merged and called Fingo).
