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.

Strengthening agricultural innovation systems in Northern Cameroon (ReSI-NoC)

Timeline: Oct 2020 – Sep 2024
Budget: EU: EUR 2,500,000

Project brief:
The ReSI-NoC project aims to strengthen agro-sylvo-pastoral innovation systems in the North region of Cameroon, focusing on promoting sustainable agro-sylvo-pastoral solutions. Implemented by a consortium including ICRAF, CIFOR, CIRAD, and IRAD, the project supports local actors through capacity building, dissemination of knowledge, technical advice, and facilitating access to resources. The project targets agricultural and livestock farmers, their families, and communities in areas facing resource management challenges like degraded lands, proximity to national parks, and cotton production zones. Local actors involved include research centres, agricultural and forestry schools, NGOs, technical services, municipalities, traditional authorities, the private sector, as well as farmers’ and herders’ organisations. Additionally, the project fosters synergies among stakeholders in agriculture, agro-food, livestock, and forestry sectors by facilitating collaboration platforms, co-creation processes, and interdisciplinary teams.
