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.

North Cameroon Ecosystem Project: Towards an Integrated Landscape Approach (EcoNorCam)

Timeline: Sep 2020 – Dec 2024
Budget: EUR 5,000,000 (actual allocation of funds currently unknown).

Project brief:
The “Ecosystem of North Cameroon: Towards an Integrated Landscape Approach” (EcoNorCam) project, implemented from 2021 to 2024, focuses on promoting sustainable land and resource management in the Bénoué National Park and adjacent hunting zones in the North Cameroon region. Funded by the European Union, this initiative aligns with the “Global Climate Change Alliance + (GCCA+)” framework, contributing to climate resilience, biodiversity conservation, and food security. Implemented by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in collaboration with CED and FODER, the project adopts an integrated landscape approach, balancing the interactions between agriculture, pastoral systems, natural resources, and socio-economic factors. It supports agroforestry practices, enhances wildlife monitoring, and fosters participatory governance to address land use conflicts and promote sustainable livelihoods. EcoNorCam strengthens public-private partnerships and engages local communities to ensure long-term environmental, social, and economic sustainability 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 here.
