The year 2023 was an active year for GRÓ – Centre for Capacity Development, Sustainability and Societal Change, and the four training programmes on fisheries, gender equality, geothermal energy and land restoration. A total of 92 fellows graduated from the 5–6 month training programmes, five GRÓ scholarship recipients graduated with a Masters’ degree and one with a PhD. GRÓ adopted a results framework and an external evaluation was conducted on the GRÓ post graduate scholarship programmes. The main priorities of the centre included the development of a GRÓ alumni strategy, which is still ongoing, and strengthening the cooperation with UNESCO as GRÓ operates under the auspices of the organisation. This is among the information set forth in the GRÓ Annual Report for 2023 that has now been published.
