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.

Climate Adaptation Window

Timeline:
Budget: USD 5,000,000 – 15,000,000

Programme brief:
The Climate Action Window (CAW) 2023 Adaptation Sub-Window by the African Development Fund (ADF) is a climate resilience initiative aimed at Africa’s most climate-vulnerable regions. Launched with a funding pool of $258 million during COP28, the window supports projects that enhance resilience in sectors like agriculture, water management, renewable energy, and infrastructure, primarily in 37 eligible low-income African countries. Projects receive grants ranging from $3 to $5 million, with a focus on adaptation co-financing, technical assistance, and mitigation. Applications for this funding round close in February 2024, with future calls dependent on additional contributions toward a $4 billion target by 2025.
