Måndag

Måndag Måndag is a creative change agency where marketing, strategy, journalism, activism and action merge. It is never too late to change course.

It is never impossible to change the world, no matter how small you are. In making an impact, it is not about being the biggest – it is about getting your message across. About stepping forward, speaking up and being true to your words. About being honest and open even when it scares you, because that is what inspires confidence. Nothing is more radical than facts. Our values are the ground rules

for everything we do. We work with organisations small or large who we think are clearing the path for everyone towards a better and more sustainable society. Instead of campaigns, we build the future. We put human and environmental rights front and centre in all that we do.

In Somaliland, something rare is taking shape: the quiet beginnings of a new, sustainable society. It’s a story of return, renewal – and an unexpected Finnish connection.

Somaliland’s new president, Abdirahman Mohamed Abdulla, carries not only the hopes of a fragile nation but also Finnish citizenship. And he’s not alone. Abdihakim Yasin and Mohamed-Madar Jamac, Somalis who lived for years in Finland, have returned with a mission: to launch an initiative that brings skilled people, ideas, and resources back to the country.

This is not just a project. It’s a shared commitment and movement.

Though still in its early days, the initiative is already gaining momentum. The idea is simple and powerful: what if diaspora communities didn’t just send remittances — but returned with experience, networks, and the will to build something new? Just as importantly, it seeks to connect to the land’s existing talents and skills — fostering collaboration between returnees and those who never left.

Måndag is proud to support this effort, helping to design a sustainable operating model and connect key partners across sectors. We believe in the strength of collaboration — between businesses, civil society, and government — to create real and lasting change.

At a time when society is often something to preserve, Somaliland reminds us: it can still be something to build. Together.

When Impact Speaks, People Listen: The Power of Engaging Stories

We just published our client Global Climate Partnership’s latest Impact Report — and it’s more than just a typical report. The 2023–24 Impact Report is a whole new platform for impact communication that balances accuracy with accessibility, combining hard data with compelling human stories.

Since day one, the Global Climate Partnership Fund (GCPF) has been driving the shift to a low-carbon future with a unique, partner-first approach. Instead of simply funding isolated projects, GCPF empowers local financial institutions in emerging markets to build climate expertise, align their portfolios with sustainability goals, and unlock long-term capital for climate-positive investments.

The report brings to life how GCPF’s partner banks are transforming local ecosystems — whether it’s financing energy-efficient greenhouses in Mongolia, accelerating electric mobility in Nepal, or deploying secure hydropower projects in Ecuador. It shows that capacity building, peer learning, and tailored technical support aren’t afterthoughts; they’re central to making real impact.

Strategically, this report marks a new chapter for GCPF, signaling its readiness to expand from climate mitigation into adaptation — all while staying true to its core values of local ownership and institutional strengthening.
At its heart, the report reflects a simple but powerful belief: impact isn’t just about numbers. It’s about how you work and how you build something that lasts. Hand in hand, side by side.

Why does this matter? Because impact and results are too often shared in dry, confusing ways.

If you ever want to make your reporting or communications more engaging and understandable, we’d love to help.

There is a need for change, but you needed a little sparring to keep going?

There are often projects that require new skills from different organisations, for example in terms of sustainability and organisational development or internationalisation, but there is no desire or ability to recruit new people.

Therefore we have been asked if we could act as a sparring partner within the teams, jointly designing future projects. The end result could be structural reforms, new working environments, international networks, different services and products or new types of funding applications.

We are now doing this work too, on an hourly basis and in a flexible way. Drop us a line if you need some sparring and let’s see how we can help!

Bold speeches, boundary-breaking new thinking and diverse creative concepts, in the middle of a tropical forest.

Nairobi is full of creative talent, and new ways of thinking about design are in demand. At the same time, trust in businesses and government is low. Many young people are looking for ways to make a difference and also for employment.

We’ve met a lot of really interesting thinkers and creatives in Nairobi. That’s why we had a Design Activism session over the weekend and we had researchers, artists, activists and strategists. We dove deep into creative conceptualisation, strategy and policy. What was amazing was how together we built an event and safe space where we weren’t afraid to speak out, something that doesn’t usually happen at “design events”.

We explored societal issues at both global and local levels. We heard about new projects and ideas. We considered structural changes, both in the short and long term.

We are currently working on a concept where we will make the whole thing an ongoing programme for creatives. After the first pilot, several projects were already started between the workshop participants.

Founded in 2014, Milele Zanzibar Foundation began as a small initiative to improve lives in Zanzibar. Now one of the archipelago’s most impactful development organizations, MZF focuses on addressing gaps in remote and underserved areas.

Marking its tenth anniversary, Måndag partnered with MZF to craft a unified vision and clear messaging, strengthening MZF’s ability to drive meaningful change. Our collaboration enhances its operations, measures impact, and builds global partnerships. By amplifying MZF’s story, we’re ensuring its mission to uplift Zanzibar’s communities endures, making “Milele” (“forever” in Kiswahili) a lasting reality true to word.

What’s the best business book to read? recommends We Should All Be Feminists.

Before leadership and strategy, start with a book that challenges norms and sparks change. Feminism isn’t just about gender equality—it’s the foundation for a happier, just, and sustainable world.

Equality drives innovation, resilience, and sustainability. Without it, we can’t tackle the climate crisis or build thriving societies.

Dive into this perspective and read why feminism is at the heart of thriving businesses and a better future. You can find Arto’s articles on our website’s News & Insigths section - link in Bio.

Our world is deeply interconnected, yet millions endure unimaginable suffering in silence. Empathy can no longer remain just a feeling—it must inspire action.

Imagine facing daily restrictions, unable to move freely, and living through unimaginable trauma. This is the reality for many Palestinians, including families who continue to endure ongoing crises.

Empathy begins when we listen, learn, and imagine walking in another’s shoes. But it must go beyond imagination. It’s about standing together, advocating for justice, and creating real change.

Read ’s powerful story and reflections on living between Gaza and Finland, and what it truly means to support one another. Let’s transform feelings into action and work toward a world where love, respect, and equality guide our decisions.

Bangalore is home to a huge number of creative thinkers from different fields, including people looking for their own networks and ways to make a difference.

Recently, a versatile group of lawyers, marketers, designers, and activists came together to talk about utopias and how positive change can be created in the society. The discussion was so engaging that the lunch stretched over three hours! 💬

More people are joining their WhatsApp group every day, and new discussions are already being planned. If you’re in Bangalore, drop a message to join—or get inspired to organise similar meetings in your city!

What’s the future of finance? If you ask us, it’s harnessing finance to accelerate the climate transition. That’s why we were thrilled to speak to over a hundred bankers from emerging economies across three continents about going beyond sustainability to truly transformational financing. A heartfelt thank you to GCPF for inviting us to be part of their bi-annual Climate Academy.

The financial sector’s impact on the world is immense. We work closely with GCPF and have collaborated with financial institutes to advance sustainable development. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss how finance can be a force for change.
