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.

Support for Climate Resilience ‘PARCLI’

Timeline: Jun 2021 – Dec 2026
Budget: USD 3,490,000 (actual allocation of funds currently unknown)

Programme brief:
PARCLI targets several regions in Cameroon that are particularly vulnerable to climate impacts. While the specific document does not enumerate the exact areas, it generally focuses on regions facing significant climate risks and socio-economic challenges. The project aims to engage communities in both urban and rural settings, fostering climate resilience among marginalised groups in these regions. This includes integrating local knowledge and practices into climate adaptation strategies to ensure they are effective and sustainable.
