tukihanke

Tukihanke is a Finnish term that translates to "support project" or "assistance project." It broadly refers to initiatives, often government-funded or supported by non-profit organizations, designed to provide aid or resources to individuals, groups, or sectors facing challenges. These projects can encompass a wide range of activities, from economic development and social welfare to environmental conservation and cultural preservation.

The specific goals of a tukihanke are determined by the needs it aims to address. For example, an economic tukihanke might offer financial assistance, training, or business development services to struggling small businesses or unemployed individuals. A social tukihanke could focus on improving access to education, healthcare, or housing for vulnerable populations. Environmental tukihankkeet might involve funding for renewable energy projects, reforestation efforts, or pollution reduction initiatives.

Funding for tukihankkeet typically comes from public sources, such as national or municipal governments, or from private foundations and charitable organizations. The implementation often involves collaboration between various stakeholders, including government agencies, NGOs, businesses, and community groups. The success of a tukihanke is usually measured by its ability to achieve its stated objectives and create sustainable positive change.
