This document presents the Independent Redress Mechanism’s (IRM) work programme for 2026 with a supporting multi-annual budget for 2026 and indications for 2027-2028.

(ii) Address complaints from GCF project-affected people and requests from developing countries for reconsideration of funding decisions;
(iii) Provide advice;
(iv) Develop the capacity of grievance redress mechanisms of Direct Access Entities; and
(v) Conduct outreach.

A draft decision is presented in Annex I for Board consideration.
