Results, Budget and Performance
In July 2025, the Member States of WIPO approved the Program of Work and Budget for the 2026/27 biennium.
In our Program of Work and Budget for 2026/27, we estimate that our overall income will reach 945 million Swiss francs, and that our expenditure will amount to about 885 million Swiss francs. Of our overall income, approximately 96 per cent is generated from fee-paying services which we provide to users of the Global Intellectual Property Systems, namely the PCT, Madrid, Hague and Lisbon Systems.
Results Based Management
We use Results Based Management at WIPO to place performance at the heart of how we operate. Results Based Management guides the way we plan, manage, report and – very importantly – how we learn lessons to improve our future planning.
