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.

Programme brief:
The programme aims to enhance the resilience of communities in Northern and Extreme Northern Cameroon through agroforestry practices. The initiative focuses on strengthening local capacities for climate change mitigation and adaptation, promoting sustainable agricultural practices that integrate tree planting with crop production. This approach not only improves food security but also helps restore degraded lands, thus addressing both environmental and socio-economic challenges faced by these regions.
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.
