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.

Scenario development and modelling of soil and water resources taking climate change into account

Timeline: Dec 2021 – Nov 2024
Budget: EUR 3,000,000

Programme brief:
The programme aims to equip Cameroonian partners with the skills to independently develop scenarios and models for managing soil and water resources amid climate change impacts. It specifically targets the Adamaoua and North regions, where the effects of climate change on these resources are already evident. The main objective is to create participatory models that predict future changes in land use and water management while incorporating climate change factors. Key implementing partners include two research institutes focusing on agriculture, development, geology, and mining, with the target beneficiaries primarily being rural populations, particularly smallholder and livestock farmers.
