This document presents the Independent Redress Mechanism’s (IRM) work plan for 2025 with a supporting multi-annual budget for 2025 and indications for 2026-2027.

(i) Operate the IRM;

(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.
