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.

Programme brief:
The Programme de Développement Économique et Social des Villes secondaires exposées à des facteurs d’instabilité (PRODESV) – 1, implemented between 2018 and 2023, focuses on strengthening the capacity of secondary cities in Cameroon to manage migration-related pressures and foster socio-economic development. With support from the KfW, the EU, and FEICOM, this initiative targets 15 cities in the Far North, North, Adamawa, East, and South regions. It emphasises constructing public infrastructure, creating high-labor-intensity jobs, and promoting local entrepreneurship to improve living conditions and economic opportunities. By addressing urban challenges and enhancing municipal capacity, the project contributes to regional stability, inclusive urban development, and environmental sustainability.
