Timeline: Apr 2019 – Dec 2024
Budget: USD 6,569,000 (concessional loan: USD 6,162,000, grant: USD 178,000, in-kind: USD 226,000)
Programme brief:
The Project for Studies and Preparation of a Rural Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Programme aims to improve access to clean drinking water and sanitation facilities in rural areas of Cameroon. This initiative will conduct feasibility studies and prepare the groundwork for a comprehensive rural water supply and sanitation programme. The project will focus on enhancing community participation and local governance to ensure sustainable management of water resources. By addressing the urgent need for reliable water supply and sanitation services, the project seeks to improve public health and overall quality of life in rural communities.

Programme brief:
PARCLI targets several regions in Cameroon that are particularly vulnerable to climate impacts. While the specific document does not enumerate the exact areas, it generally focuses on regions facing significant climate risks and socio-economic challenges. The project aims to engage communities in both urban and rural settings, fostering climate resilience among marginalised groups in these regions. This includes integrating local knowledge and practices into climate adaptation strategies to ensure they are effective and sustainable.
Timeline: Sep 2022 – Dec 2026
Budget: USD 42,840,000 (concessional loan: USD 38,556,000, in-kind: USD 4,284,000)
Programme brief:
The Yaoundé City Sustainable Enhanced Drainage and Sanitation Project (PCADY) aims to improve urban drainage systems and sanitation services in Yaoundé, Cameroon. Funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB), the project focuses on reducing flooding risks, enhancing public health, and promoting sustainable urban development. Key components include upgrading drainage infrastructure, implementing sustainable practices, and increasing community awareness on hygiene and sanitation. By addressing these critical issues, PCADY seeks to create a more resilient urban environment for the city’s residents, particularly the most vulnerable populations.
This tool is designed to be a practical, user-friendly resource, enhancing the visibility of adaptation finance flows in Cameroon. It maps current and near-term local adaptation programmes and projects in Cameroon, as of end-2024, using publicly-accessible data.
This first iteration maps international public funding, laying the foundation for future layers and broader replication.
The tool follows a participatory and iterative approach. Built as a living resource, this tool will be updated over time and enriched with additional contributions. We invite collaborators to provide feedback and suggest adjustments and additions to the data.
