The Africa We Want – Quarter Three Newsletter

Greetings from ACRP!

As the year draws to a close, we are happy to be wrapping up with a bang! 

ACRP attended COP 29 this year in Baku, Azerbaijan, between 16-22 November. This year’s COP was dubbed the Finance COP, as it was focused on the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) to determine a new climate finance target.

On 16th November 2024, ACRP presented a finance accountability tool thatenables the public to track the flow of climate finance going in and out of their respective countries. The tool also helps to validate the projects that climate finance is set aside for. This event was co-hosted by The Climate Reality Project Philippines, highlighting the importance of community-led efforts for tracking and validating climate finance in the Philippines, Ghana, and South Africa. The ACRP team’s presentation focused on an analysis of climate finance flows between 2010 and 2022, examining funding sources, types of funding, and the sectors receiving funding in Ghana and South Africa. They concluded with a site validation report on the Worobong South Forest Reserve in Ghana.
