Cameroon will be able to provide municipalities with infrastructure capable of withstanding climate disruption through the Local Governance and Resilient Communities project. The World Bank agreed to support this project in September 2022.

“We know that fragility and poverty are exacerbated by the increased difficulties caused by natural hazards and climate change. These phenomena have serious consequences for the most vulnerable communities in all regions, who have to cope with the deterioration, destruction or loss of their habitat, their means of subsistence and their crops”, said Abdoulaye Seck, the World Bank’s Director of Operations for Cameroon, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, the Central African Republic and Congo.
