In 2023 EGP continued to make steady progress towards delivering expected results across all the eight strategic priority areas, both on global level and in the ten target countries.
2023 was the first year since the COVID19-Pandemic, that programme partners had an opportunity to meet face to face to share learning and knowledge. There were a number of regional meetings. The African countries met in Zambia and the Latin America meeting took place in Colombia. In Asia a delegation from Kyrgyzstan visited Mongolia in June, and in September a delegation from Mongolia travelled to Kyrgyzstan for a combination of workshops and field trips.
2023 was originally meant to be the last year of EGP Phase 2, but during the year it was decided that the programme should be extended until December 2024. The decision enabled a rigorous external evaluation with no substantive changes to workplans.
