A powerful advocate for all Finnish municipalities, the Association of Finnish Local and Regional Authorities (AFLRA) promotes local self-government and the modernisation of municipal services.
The AFLRA's core tasks are to advance the interests and development of municipalities and their partner organisations and to provide services for them.

We have a wide range of specialist expertise and a broad understanding of all aspects of local government work.
