Programme brief:
The CBE programme aims to create a high-level research center in the scientific disciplines covered by environmental biogeosciences. The programme aims to strengthen the research ecosystem in these disciplines, increase the volume and quality of research projects and promote networking between researchers in Central Africa and internationally on the interrelations between changes in climate and land use.
This tool is designed to be a practical, user-friendly resource, enhancing the visibility of adaptation finance flows in Cameroon. It maps current and near-term local adaptation programmes and projects in Cameroon, as of end-2024, using publicly-accessible data.
This first iteration maps international public funding, laying the foundation for future layers and broader replication.
The tool follows a participatory and iterative approach. Built as a living resource, this tool will be updated over time and enriched with additional contributions. We invite collaborators to provide feedback and suggest adjustments and additions to the data.
