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.

Soil information for sustainable soil use (PRESS II)

Timeline: Jul 2020 – Jun 2024
Budget: EUR 3,700,000

Programme brief: The programme aims to enhance sustainable soil management through improved soil data collection and geoscientific databases. It supports the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Planning and Development (MINEPAT) and the Institut de Recherche Agricole pour le Développement (IRAD) in developing a central information system for assessing soil properties and quality across various regions in Cameroon. The programme’s objectives include gathering comprehensive soil data at provincial and municipal levels, which is crucial for effective land use planning and rural development strategies. This initiative falls under the priority area of “Rural Development” in German-Cameroonian cooperation.
