    The Independent Redress Mechanism (IRM) is the accountability mechanism of the GCF. The IRM responds to complaints by people who believe they have been adversely affected by GCF projects or programmes. The IRM also accepts requests by developing countries for the reconsideration of proposals that were denied funding by the GCF Board. The IRM uses both problem solving and independent compliance review approaches to provide redress and accountability. As Registrar and Case Officer, I lead the functions of the IRM related to complaints, reconsideration requests and suo moto investigations. My core responsibilities include processing complaints and requests for reconsiderationof funding decisions which are submitted to the Independent Redress Mechanism (IRM) throughout the case cycle. This involves, amongst others, maintaining the register of cases, and the Case Management System, coordinating the internal flow of case work within the IRM team, making procedural and substantive determinations on cases, and engaging in formal procedural and substantive communications with the parties involved. I assist with the logistics and preparation of materials for capacity building initiatives of the IRM and support the logistics, preparation of materials and agenda, and identification of participants for outreach initiatives for civil society. In a team, I work to coordinate the recruitment of needed staff, interns and consultants.
