Enhancing Connectivity and Resilience in the Far North of Cameroon for Inclusiveness – Component 1: Road Rehabilitation and Maintenance Works

Timeline: Jun 2023 – Jun 2029
Budget: USD 308,000,000

Project brief:
This component is designed to support the ongoing efforts to improve transport connectivity in the greater Lake Chad region and the Far North of Cameroon. A climate vulnerability assessment for the roads was carried out to identify the necessary measures to enhance the road’s climate resilience. This component will finance the rehabilitation and upgrading of approximately 200 km of access roads to climate resilience standards. It will also support the implementation of a labor-intensive community maintenance and preservation system for rural roads to promote the sustainability of investments. It will use a demand-driven approach to identify complementary investments necessary to strengthen the climate, social, and economic resilience of populations around the RN1 corridor in the Far North, including refugee and host communities. This component will foster citizen engagement through the inclusion of digitally enabled feedback loops— including geo-enabling initiatives for monitoring and supervision (GEMS)—to allow for real-time input on project activities.

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.
