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.

The BRIDGE project is supported by the Step Change initiative, funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada.

Cameroon Urban Platform

Timeline: Jan 2023 – Dec 2026
Budget: EUR 4,900,000

Project brief:
The Urban Platform in Cameroon is a digital tool by Expertise France to support sustainable urban planning by providing accessible data on urban projects in Cameroon. Part of the EU’s “Green, Inclusive, and Resilient Cities” programme, this platform consolidates spatial data for cities like Yaoundé, Douala, and Maroua, helping to tackle challenges in climate resilience, waste, and urban mobility. By bringing together local governments, civil society, and private sector actors, the platform promotes collaboration for informed urban policies. Training resources further support local planning capabilities.
