Convergence in Cameroon: a pathway for investments in food system sustainability?
Cameroon is an emerging leader of the Convergence Initiative for food security and climate mitigation. The country is among the most advanced African countries in this regard, with a national Convergence Plan centred on three areas:
the rice sector,
agroecology,
import substitution.
To support the Cameroon Convergence agenda, SASi-SPi assessed the sustainability of these three strategic options.

Cameroon has ambitions to reduce greenhouse gases by 35 percent by 2030. SASi-SPi has provided strategic intelligence to support these ambitions and improve access to climate funding.
SASi-SPi proposes two pathways for Cameroon to improve access to Green Climate Fund financing.
