Global Forum for the GEF Integrated Programs

Integrated Approach Programming in the GEF: from Design to Impact

The Global Forum for the GEF Integrated Programs will be held from April 13 to 17, 2026, at the United Nations Office in Nairobi, Kenya. Convened by the Global Environment Facility in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme, the Forum will bring together the GEF partnership to exchange learning and experience on integrated approach programming.

The Forum will focus on how GEF Integrated Programs progress from design to implementation and impact, with an emphasis on systems transformation, collective action, and durable outcomes across environmental domains.

Through a combination of plenary discussions, interactive exchanges, learning sessions, and networking opportunities, the Forum will provide space for shared reflection on progress achieved under GEF-6, GEF-7, and GEF-8 Integrated Programs, and for identifying insights that can inform future GEF programming and investments.

The Forum is open only to GEF Agencies, countries, and partners of the GEF Integrated Programs. All participants must submit or be included in a response to the Call for Contributions issued to agencies and countries. The link for registration will be available closer to the Forum.
