Happy New Year from OCDC’s ICRG!
As we set our sights on 2024, we are filled with optimism for the year ahead, driven by the unwavering dedication and vitality of cooperatives around the world working to build a better future for their members.
Thank you!
As we reflect on the past year, we would like to express our sincerest appreciation to our valued colleagues, supporters, and partners who contributed to the success of the ICRG’s research, learning, and dissemination activities in 2023. We look forward to continued collaboration with all of you!
Looking Ahead to 2024
The ICRG is excited to have launched its new five-year program, Cooperative Impact and Innovation through Research, Collaboration, Learning, and Evidence (CIIRCLE), within USAID’s Cooperative Development Program (CDP)!
As the research and development arm of the CDP, the ICRG will continue increasing the uptake and impact of international cooperative development by co-creating evidence-based research and cooperative-specific tools.
In the interim, we invite you to start your year by exploring some of our most in-demand research of 2023. Thank you for being a part of our journey towards a brighter cooperative future!
