C0001 Bangladesh

The complaint was filed by Transparency International Bangladesh on behalf of the mayor and 427 residents of the Satkhira municipality. The complaint alleged that funds had not yet been disbursed on FP004, though it had been approved by the Board in 2015. The complaint asserted that the complainants had suffered loss and damage because of this delay. The IRM examined the complaint and obtained preliminary information from the Secretariat and the representative of the complainant, and after due consideration declared the complaint ineligible. The IRM concluded that the alleged damage or loss, if any, was due to climate change and not the impacts of a project or programme of the GCF, as contemplated under the TOR of the IRM.
