ANTWI-BOASIAKO AMOAH (EPA-Ghana)
OECD/IEA Climate Change Expert Group
(CCXG)
Global Forum on the Environment and Climate Change
13-14 September 2016

2. Latest international climate reports

3. 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

4. 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.

5. International climate finance flows to Ghana (2011-2014) in US$

6. 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)

7. 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
