Report on the activities of the Independent Redress Mechanism

The Independent Redress Mechanism (IRM) report details its operational progress between February and May 2018, focusing on staffing, outreach, and the development of procedures. The IRM is now fully staffed and operational, though it received no new complaints or reconsideration requests during the reporting period. Key activities included civil society outreach in Mongolia, participation in Structured Dialogues in Mali and Vietnam, and the development of a custom Case Management System. The IRM is currently finalizing its Procedures and Guidelines for Board adoption in October 2018 and has provided capacity-building training to 84 participants from direct access entities.

• The IRM is now fully operational and staffed with three full-time members: the Head of the IRM, a Compliance and Dispute Resolution Specialist, and a Team Assistant, supported by limited-term consultants and interns.
• No new complaints or reconsideration requests were received between 6 February 2018 and 31 May 2018. A previous request for reconsideration from the NDA of Argentina regarding funding proposal FP057 was closed after the NDA formally withdrew the request on 22 March 2018.
• The IRM conducted several outreach and capacity-building activities, including a civil society event in Ulaan Bataar, Mongolia (March 12-13, 2018) with 45 participants, and a workshop for 84 participants from direct access entities in Songdo (May 29 to June 1, 2018).
• The IRM is developing its Procedures and Guidelines, which were opened for public consultation on 17 April 2018. Following webinars and consultations, the draft is expected to be presented to the Board at B.21 in October 2018.
• A custom-built Case Management System (CMS) is currently being developed with the GCF Secretariat's ICT Department, with a procurement process underway and an expected implementation timeframe of 4 months.
