Activities
Forum CC will conduct two (2) action-based researches for climate change finance tracking.
The first one will focus on climate change finance gaps in Agriculture and Livestock at the national level. The scope will be covering the past three financial years (2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15).
The second one will be on the same Agriculture and Livestock sectoral budgets at local level in two districts: Kongwa District in Dodoma region and Gairo in Morogoro region.
The tracking is envisaged to establish specific financing gaps, who financed what, where-in terms of both nature of the response and geographical coverage. This is importance to see if funds go to the identified climate change hotspots. The methodological approach will combine a qualitative analysis of the policy context and quantitative review of public spending on climate change actions.
