Kepa is a service base for nongovernmental organizations in Finland interested in development work and global issues.
It is a politically and ideologically independent organization that operates with funding from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland.
[1] Kepa acts as a mouthpiece of Finnish development NGOs, hosts events such as the World Village Festival and publishes the Maailman Kuvalehti magazine.
It was discontinued in 2016 following cuts to the Finnish development aid, which is the main source of Kepa's funding.
In 2018, Kepa will merge with another Finnish umbrella organization, Kehys.
