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.

Supporting rural development in the cotton regions

Timeline: Dec 2021 – Nov 2024
Budget: EUR 19,400,000

Project brief:
This project, implemented by GIZ as part of ABC-PADER, supports farmers and herders in Cameroon’s cotton-growing regions by promoting climate-adapted agricultural practices and sustainable land management. GIZ’s role focuses on securing land tenure to reduce resource conflicts, providing access to finance for agricultural producers, and enhancing capacity building for local organisations. Additionally, GIZ facilitates vocational training programs that equip youth and women with skills to improve agricultural productivity and employability, particularly in the context of climate resilience and sustainable resource use.
