On Tuesday, February 18, the Marine and Freshwater Research Institute in Iceland buzzed with energy as GRÓ Fisheries Training Programme fellows gathered for an afternoon seminar that promised both inspiration and a fresh perspective on global fisheries projects. The event featured Mr. Xavier Vincent, a seasoned Senior Fisheries Specialist at the World Bank, who shared with the audience his insights into the inner workings of WB-funded projects across the Pacific, Africa, and Asia.

The GRÓ Fisheries Training Programme recently welcomed a youth delegation from UNICEF Iceland who are preparing for a trip to Luxembourg, where they will meet with their peers to discuss climate change.

GRÓ Fisheries Training Programme (GRÓ FTP) received praise from GOPA in the latest external evaluation of the GRÓ Centre and four GRÓ programmes.

Exploring future trends for fisheries, the FTP fellows asked questions like “what is likely to change and what will probably continue”, during the fourth week of the Six month training programme.
