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-Water-Nexus: Integrated Water Resources Management in the Niger Basin (CLIM’O)

Timeline: Aug 2022 – Jun 2024
Budget: EUR 800,000 for 9 countries

Programme brief:
The “Climate-Water-Nexus: Integrated Water Resources Management in the Niger Basin (CLIM’O)” programme focuses on addressing water management challenges in the Niger Basin amidst climate change impacts. It aims to enhance integrated water resources management (IWRM) by promoting sustainable practices that align with local needs and ecosystems. The programme fosters stakeholder participation in decision-making processes to improve water governance, enhance resilience, and promote cross-border cooperation. Key activities include capacity building for local communities, development of climate adaptation strategies, and investment in sustainable water infrastructure. The project will strengthen the Niger Basin Authority and its member countries to mainstream climate change adaptation into regional and national planning, implementation, and monitoring mechanisms.
