Association of Finnish Cities and Municipalities

A powerful advocate for all Finnish municipalities, the Association of Finnish Cities and Municipalities (AFCM) promotes local self-government and the modernisation of municipal services.  

The AFCM's core tasks are to advance the interests and development of municipalities and their partner organisations and to provide services for them. The Association brings the voice of municipalities and the entire local government sector to social debate and decision-making. We have a wide range of specialist expertise and a broad understanding of all aspects of local government work.

The AFCM employs over 140 experts. We have two office locations: our headquarters, the House of Municipalities, in Helsinki and an office in Brussels. We provide services in Finland’s two national languages – Finnish and Swedish. Find out more about us.
