COVID-19 – statement from the GEF CEO and chairperson
The global situation with the spread of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) is evolving rapidly and is a source of great concern to all of us. We all need to play our part to keep our communities as safe as possible.
With this in mind, the GEF Secretariat remains open for business but all staff are working remotely, and non-essential travel has been suspended. We are making every effort to maintain business continuity in our operations, and remain in close contact with the GEF’s stakeholders through this challenging period.
