FEICOM partners with Bridge & Impact to up councils´ climate funds.

The goal is to train FEICOM officials on how they can easily have access to funding from the climate finance fund. The training workshop held on March 12 at FEICOM head office. 

Dubbed, Special Fund of Equipment and Intercommunal Intervention, it was held under the auspices of local branch of Project partners, Bridge and Impact Cameroun.

The workshop was attended by municipal authorities and was chaired by the Secretary General of the Ministry of Environment, Nature Protection and Sustainable Development, MINEPDED, Paul Tchawa.

Also present was the Director General of FEICOM, Philippe Camille Akoa, and his collaborators.

Answering questions from media practitioners, the FEICOM boss stressed the need to empower mayors and other officials of decentralised collectivities to be able to set up projects that can give them access to funds in the framework of the fight against climate change. 

“There is urgent need to step up expertise at the local level through adequate training so that councils can, on their own, secure private financing for the execution of municipal climate projects”, the boss of FEICOM told reporters.

The Director General gave assurance that FEICOM and partners, stand with mayors and other officials of decentralized collectivities, to help them through this and other processes of securing more funds to embark on development projects, especially as they relate to mitigating the adverse effects of climate change.
