The Global Forum for the GEF Integrated Programs will take place from 13 to 17 April 2026 at the United Nations Office in Nairobi, Kenya.
Convened by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Forum will bring together the entire GEF partnership to exchange experiences, share lessons, and strengthen collaboration around integrated programming. 

The 2026 Forum will explore how GEF Integrated Programs are moving from design to implementation and measurable impact. 

Through a dynamic mix of plenary discussions, interactive exchanges, learning sessions, and networking opportunities, participants will:

• Reflect on progress achieved under GEF-6, GEF-7, and GEF-8 Integrated Programs
• Share innovations, challenges, and emerging good practices
• Identify insights to inform future GEF programming and investment strategies

The Forum is open exclusively to GEF Agencies, countries, and partners engaged in the GEF Integrated Programs. Participation will be based on responses to the Call for Contributions issued to agencies and countries.
