Multilingual version [English and Finnish]
Internationally, Finland is a highly respected development and humanitarian actor and advocate, valued as a principled donor and as a leading exponent of policy coherence for development.
Covering the period 2012 until late-2018, the main objective of the evalua- tion, commissioned by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Finland, is to ‘assess how coherently Finland’s development policy and its targets relating to forced displacement have been implemented and how the coherence could be enhanced’. Specifically, the evaluation has addressed three questions:
- How and to what extent has the MFA developed clear approaches to forced displacement and the humanitarian-development nexus over the evaluation period?
- To what extent and how has Finland’s evolving approach to/interpreta- tion of forced displacement and the humanitarian-development nexus been an adequate response to the challenge it poses for Finland as an official development and humanitarian actor?
- To what extent and how do these approaches, rooted in the 2012 and 2016 Development Policy Programmes help establish policy coherence between Finnish policies?
This is a formative evaluation, steering the outputs towards a learning process, the main purpose of which is to increase knowledge, awareness and the opera- tionalisation of the humanitarian-development nexus and the concept of forced displacement within the MFA. Aligning development cooperation and humani- tarian assistance programming more effectively in relation to forced displace- ment will enhance policy coherence within the MFA, notably in the forthcoming 2020 Development Policy Programme (DPP), and with its partners.

Evaluointi tarkastelee sitä, “miten johdonmukaisesti Suomen kehityspolitiikkaa ja sen pakkomuuttoon liittyviä tavoitteita on pantu toimeen ja miten johdonmukaisuutta voitaisiin vahvistaa” Suomen kehitysyhteistyössä. Suomi on monenvälisten ja kahdenvälisten yhteistyötahojensa arvostama toimija ja yleisesti ottaen Suomen politiikka on hyvin yhteensopiva kumppaniensa tavoitteiden kanssa. Suomen poliittinen vaikutus kansainvälisesti on merkittävä erityisesti sellaisilla painopistealueilla kuin naisten ja tyttöjen sekä vammaisten oikeudet.
