Cameroon adaptation funding landscape

Designed for financiers, policymakers, local impact brokers, and national and subnational governments in Cameroon, this tool clarifies adaptation funding flows and gaps and facilitates inclusive local adaptation by increasing transparency and knowledge on these funding flows.

Check out this short explainer video and overview document for more information on how to use this tool and to understand how it was developed.

This tool was developed as part of the BRIDGE project, supported by the Step Change initiative, and funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada.

Local Governance and Resilient Communities (LG-RCP)

Timeline: Sep 2022 – Sep 2027
Budget: USD 300,000,000 (concessional loan)

Programme brief:
The programme aims to enhance local governance and resilience among marginalised and vulnerable communities in conflict-affected and socio-economically disadvantaged municipalities. It focuses on regions such as the Far North, North, Adamawa, East, South West, and North West, and is designed to improve local public service delivery and promote participatory governance. By building local capacity and fostering community engagement, the LG-RCP seeks to address governance challenges and strengthen communities’ ability to adapt to climate change and socio-economic vulnerabilities.

Local Governance and Resilient Communities (LG-RCP) – Component 1: Improved community infrastructures and basic services

Timeline: Sep 2022 – Sep 2027
Budget: USD 180,000,000, splited as:
– Strengthening community capacities: USD 20,000,000.
– Community development support: USD 100,000,000.
– Construction and rehabilitation of intercommunal infrastructure: USD 60,000,000.

Project brief:
This component will support the implementation of activities to support community-led development with an emphasis on the most marginalised and vulnerable communities in conflict-affected and socioeconomically disadvantaged municipalities amongst regions of Far North, North, Adamawa, East, SW, and NW. This component will utilise community-based platforms to support community members to obtain inclusive access to essential social services and basic infrastructure through: (i) strengthening community capacities to identify their needs, including in relation to current and future change impacts; (ii) construction, rehabilitation, and service provision of climate-resilient community infrastructures and (iii) climate resilient construction and rehabilitation of intercommunal infrastructure that facilitates intercommunal interactions and/or benefits multiple municipalities. The National Project Implementation Unit (PIU) will conduct vulnerability assessments at the municipal level in each of the six regions. Data gathered through the assessment will be utilised to target activities at the most socioeconomically vulnerable and FCV-affected municipalities. Data from municipal level spatial vulnerability assessments will be triangulated with data on the climate risks, FCV and security environment, and accessibility of communities, and the resulting information will guide the implementation of the component. The component is expected to support around 70% of municipalities across these regions, accounting for around 132 municipalities.

Local Governance and Resilient Communities (LG-RCP) – Component 2: Improving Multi-level Governance Framework and the capacity of decentralized entities to deliver services

Timeline: Sep 2022 – Sep 2027
Budget: USD 90,000,000, splited as:
2a: Building multi-level institutional capacity for decentralisation: USD 15,000,000.
2b: Strengthening local capacity for service delivery: USD 30,000,000.
2c: Performance-based grants: USD 45,000,000.

Project brief:
This component will: (i) provide technical assistance to central and local entities to further operationalise the decentralisation agenda at the institutional and policy levels; and (ii) build and strengthen the capacity of the decentralised local authorities to manage resources and to exercise their competencies more effectively and in a participatory and inclusive manner. For sustainability and impact, this component will focus on strengthening the capacity of the decentralised local authorities to prepare, manage and implement projects within the country’s public financial management (FM) system52 and processes, and with consideration of natural hazards and climate-change-related risks. As decentralisation is a long-term, often nonlinear process that requires sustained engagement from multiple partners, this component is building on past and ongoing World Bank interventions, including an assessment of the enabling environment and implementation bottlenecks and the lessons from the multi-donor funded PNDP to target key interventions in the medium-term.

Welcome to the Cameroon adaptation finance landscape tool!

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.
