Cameroon climate finance landscape

This mapping tool was developed as part of the BRIDGE project co-funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands through the Step Change initiative and implemented by ICLEI Africa. This tool is primarily intended for Cameroonian municipalities and climate change knowledge brokers/intermediaries. Its primary goal is to improve access to information on funding opportunities for locally-led adaptation projects, thereby enhancing the ability to identify and secure financial support for these initiatives. Designed as a dynamic resource, the tool can be updated with successive iterations and external contributions. This initial layer of mapping focuses on international public funding sources.

Adaptive Safety Nets and Economic Inclusion – Component 3: Shock-Responsive Digital Delivery Systems

Timeline: May 2022 – May 2028
Budget: USD 5,000,000, splited as:
– Unified Social Registry: USD 3,500,000
– Digital Payment System: USD 1,500,000

Programme brief:
Leveraging the significant investments made under the SSNP, this subcomponent will focus on (a) establishing a social registry to facilitate beneficiary identification and improve coordination; and (b) scaling up the digital government-to-person payment system piloted in response to COVID-19 to enhance the speed and efficacy of beneficiary transfers. These investments are intended to develop a social protection infrastructure that is flexible enough to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances and needs in the event of a covariate shock, including natural disasters, food shortages, or violent conflict. Taken together, the social registry and digital payment system aim to strengthen shock-responsiveness by enabling a timely, safe, and cost-effective expansion of coverage and delivery of benefits to affected populations.
