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.
