This document responds to the request in paragraphs (c) and (d) of Board decision GCF/B.04/03, and provides a report on progress made so far. It should be considered in conjunction with document GCF/B.05/10 Initial Structure and Staffing of the Secretariat. It also reports on the results of actions taken by the Secretariat relating to paragraph (b) of the same decision, which, however, has not progressed in a way that would require Board consideration at this stage.
