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.

Cameroon: Green and Resilient Septentrion – CaSeVe

Timeline: Dec 2021 – Oct 2025
Budget: EUR 20,000,000

Programme brief:
The “Green and Resilient North Cameroon” initiative, part of the Team Europe Initiative, will be implemented in the northern regions of Cameroon (North, Far North, and Adamawa). It aims to: (i) strengthen decentralised governance by coordinating European partners’ efforts, (ii) promote climate-smart agro-sylvo-pastoral practices to address land scarcity, and (iii) support conservation actors in protecting and sustainably managing hunting zones (ZIC) and national parks. The project is funded by the EU, Germany, and France, and focuses on improving local livelihoods, particularly for vulnerable groups like youth, women, and indigenous peoples, ensuring their rights and active participation in decision-making.
