Climate Change Financing in Ghana-Context Sources: International and Domestic Actors: Varied (both state and non-state) Funding for climate change is largely at the project level(notable

exception to this is NREG a multi donor multi sector budget support programme of $25-30m pa for 5 years)

Funding for CC in Ghana is largely provided bi-laterally or through specific funds administered by the World Bank or UNDP and to a limited extent through global funding mechanisms

Context cont. • The financial flow Ghana received between 2011 and 2014 has

be presented in this first biennial update report. • The financial flows are have been classified first as domestic

contributions and external contributions. • The domestic contributions are financial resources government

of Ghana invested in direct climate change programmes as “co-financing” or “own investments”.

• The external contributions are international resources, mainly from Annex 2 Parties”, that were received or committed through multilateral, bilateral and GEF channels.

Information and Data Sources On question 1: country approach in reporting…. • Ghana’s BUR reported on climate finance received by the various

ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) through the Ministry of Finance

• Cross verification by the EPA with recipient/beneficiary institutions using surveys (activity, time frame, amount received, source, type, etc.)

• Information then is presented in various formats (matrices, pie and bar chats, etc)

On question 2: main challenges…… • Many actors (tracking becomes difficult) • Difficulty in getting information and data on climate financing from

non-state actors including the private sector

How this can be improved? • Enhanced capacity of institutions and individuals on reporting • Enhancing Ghana’s domestic MRV system to include reporting on

climate finance received from all sources and by all actors • Documenting/archiving of support received in a centralized database
