Results, Budget and Performance
In July 2023, the Member States of WIPO approved the Program of Work and Budget for the 2024/25 biennium. WIPO is unusual among UN organizations in that we are almost entirely self-financing.
In our Program of Work and Budget for 2024/25, we estimate that our overall income will reach over 970 million Swiss francs, and that our expenditure will amount to about 857 million Swiss francs. Of our overall income, approximately 95 per cent are 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.
Program of Work and Budget
Every two years, WIPO's Director General presents a Program of Work and Budget to Member States for approval. It details results, performance measures and budgetary planning for the upcoming program of work for the next biennium.

WIPO Performance Reports
Every year we submit a WIPO Performance Report to our Member States. This is our main accountability tool for reporting on our organizational performance.
