Establishing UN Technology and innovation laboratory (UNTIL) in Finland YK:n teknologia- ja innovaatiolaboratorion (UNTIL) perustaminen Suomeen The UN Office of Information and Communications Technology OICT has decided to establish a UN Technology and Innovation Laboratory (UNTIL) in Finland. A Letter of Intent has been signed between the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and UN OICT in July 2017. The
 UNTIL is part of an international technology laboratory network designed to bring together UN personnel researchers educational institutions and businesses to promote the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and other UN mandates through emerg
ing technology. The chosen thematic priorities of UNTIL Finland are education health circular economy peace and security. Other labs will be established to Malaysia and further at least to Egypt and India. UNTIL is situated in the heart of Aalto University
?s campus in Otaniemi Espoo where there are possibilities creating a whole UN campus subsequently. YK:n sihteeristön ICT-toimisto (Office of Information and Communications Technology OICT) on päättänyt YK:n teknologia- ja innovaatiolaboratorion perustamisesta Suomeen. Ulkoministeriö ja YK:n sihteeristön ovat solmineet perustamisesta aiekirjeen hei
näkuussa 2017. Laboratorio on osa kansainvälistä verkostoa jossa ensi vaiheessa vastaavia labeja isännöivät ja Malesia seuraavaksi Egypti ja Intia ja tämän jälkeen muut maat.Hankkeen vaikuttavuustavoitteena on tuottaa SDG tavoitteisiin tähtäävi
ä teknologiaratkaisuja tuote- ja palvelukonsepteja YK:n ja kehitysmaiden käyttöön. Suomen labin teema-alueiksi on valittu koulutus terveys kiertotalous sekä rauha ja turvallisuus. Suomen UNTIL Lab käyttää hyväkseen Suomen innovaatio- ja start-up -
ekosysteemiä mutta se on osa globaalia UNTIL toimintaa ja saavuttaa kehitysmaat UNTIL ja YK verkoston kautta. UNTIL on uusi toimintamalli YK-järjestelmässä mutta teknologiakehitystä ja innovaatiotoimintaa harjoittavat monet YK-toimijat. UNTIL Lab Suom
i pyrkii toimimaan yhteistyössä eri YK innovaatio-ohjelmien kanssa. Labin henkilöstö tulee olemaan YK virkamiehistöä ja paikalta palkattua henkilöstöä.  UNTIL Lab Suomi vahvistaa YK:n läsnäoloa Suomessa ja pidemmällä tähtäyksellä luo mahdol
lisuuksia luoda Espooseen YK kampus.
GICHD/Humanitarian Mine Action GICHD/Humanitaarinen miinatoiminta Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) supports National Mine Action Authorities in different countries by furthering knowledge and promoting norms and standards to enable efficient and effective humanitarian mine action operations o
n the ground. Finland supports GICHD?s global and regional initiatives including regional programme in Eastern Europe Caucasus and Central Asia and the Arab Regional Cooperation programme. Mainstreaming gender considerations across the project portfolio is
 an important part of GICHD's activities. The support extended to GICHD comprises 500 000 euros during 2021-2025. Suomi kuuluu Genevessä sijaitsevan kansainvälisen humanitaarisen miinatoimintakeskuksen (GICHD) rahoittajiin.

Interconnexion Project Major assumptions that will influence the performance of the project include that a) no adverse weather conditions prevail during the implementation period to negatively affect the productivity of the sector b) international commodity prices particularly those of cocoa and coton will not face any drastic falls c) the Government of Ghana will continue to pursue its macro and sectoral adjustment programmes to further stimulate private sector investment and d) government will not introduce new import policies that will affect the demand for the key agricultural inputs expected to be financed from the proceeds of the credit. The other area where likely risk is anticipated during the implementation of the credit are foreign exchange fluctuations or rapid depreciation of the Cedi, operational capacity limitation of the AgDB and low loan recovery rates.
