“The context for this briefing paper is a
civil society meeting hosted in Cape Town
in September 2010 by the Corruption and
Governance Programme of the Institute for
Security Studies(ISS). Experts from Africa,
Asia and Latin America presented papers
discussing regional context and national and
sub-national experiences with climate funds
in their regions. The papers have been compiled into an ISS report on monitoring
the governance of climate finance. The study
presents an approach that is grounded in
the realities and experiences in funding
arrangements across developing countries
in the three regions studied. The issues
raised here reflect on some of the common
findings of that study’s report. This paper
is the third in a series of three. The first
presents critical reflections on regional
trends in climate finance. The second discusses national and sub-national experiences with the Adaptation Fund, Clean
Development Mechanism (CDM)and the Reduced
Emissions from Deforestation and Forest
Degradation (REDD). “
