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 Septentrion – Integrated Territorial Governance (CaSeVe – ITG)

Timeline: Jun 2023 – Jun 2028
Budget: USD 4,000,000

Project brief:
The Cameroun Septentrion Vert – Gouvernance Territoriale Intégrée (CASEVE-GTI) project focuses on improving territorial governance and preventing conflicts in northern Cameroon. The project, implemented by ICRAF, CIFOR, OFAC, and CARE International, aims to make land zoning and territorial management more transparent, inclusive, and respected. It will develop a digital platform for data collection and analysis, facilitate participatory conflict identification, and strengthen local governance actors’ capacity for negotiation and dialogue. Targeting local authorities, civil society, and the private sector, the project operates in three landscapes: Logone Valley, Benoué West, and Benoué East, with a duration from July 2023 to June 2028. Expected results include improved land management decisions and better coordination of actions related to environmental and territorial integration in the region.

Welcome to the BRIDGE climate adaptation finance mapping tool!

This initial version of the tool is designed to be a practical, user-friendly resource for climate adaptation practitioners, enhancing the visibility of adaptation finance flows in Cameroon. It maps current and near-term local adaptation programmes and projects in Cameroon, as of 2024.

The tool follows a participatory and iterative approach. We invite collaborators to provide feedback and suggest adjustments and additions to the data.
