CLIMATE FINANCE TRANSPARENCY MECHANISM (CFTM)

Date

We gratefully acknowledge the support from PROKAS, British Council and UKAID

Climate Finance Transparency Mechanism (CFTM) has been initiated in January 2017and is being implemented by a consortium (Consortium-1) among the InternationalCentre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD), the Centre for Climate Changeand Environmental Research (C3ER), BRAC University and the Bangladesh Centre forAdvanced Studies (BCAS) in association with the British Council. Consortium-2 of thisproject constitutes Campaign for Sustainable Rural Livelihoods (CSRL), and CoastalAssociation for Social Transformation Trust (COAST Trust).

The CFTM project is an innovative project that would not only enable the funding forclimate change in Bangladesh to be more effective in helping the most vulnerablecommunities become better adapted to climate change impacts, but would also helpimprove the overall levels of transparency in governance in general in Bangladesh.The goal of this project is to increase the efficacy of climate change funds both fromgovernment and donors in tackling the impacts of climate change in Bangladesh.
