Abstract:
To support the development of a National Climate Change Policy Framework (NCCPF) and a
further harmonization of climate change related activities in Ghana, the Ministry of Finance and
Economic Planning (MoFEP) and the Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology
(MEST) expressed demand for a mapping of the most important past and current climate change
related initiatives in the country, and of international climate change related funding
opportunities, that Ghana might be able to access. The initiatives mapping demonstrates
Ghana’s longstanding engagement with climate change, dating back to more than 15 years ago.
The report shows a multitude of activities including a number of large (5 mln. USD to > 100
mln. USD), GEF or World Bank financed projects, and a range of smaller projects (in the order
of 100 000 - 500 000 USD). The majority of current initiatives are related to forestry and
REDD. This report concludes with a discussion on observed trends, such as a broadening
involvement of MDAs in adaptation initiatives and a focus on low carbon growth, and of points
for attention, such as a need for coordination, for private sector involvement and supporting
systems (such as institutional capacity, governance and monitoring systems).
