The Fair Finance School, organized by the African Climate Reality Project (ACRP) in partnership with the Strategic Youth Network for Development (SYND) and Fair Finance was held on July 15 and 16, 2024, at the Crystal Palm Hotel in Accra, Ghana, was a significant event for Climate Reality Leaders and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) focusing on climate finance. We are proud to announce that Cedric Dzelu, the Executive Director of Frontline for Climate Action, participated in this intensive program.
The program, designed to equip participants with crucial knowledge and skills, emphasized understanding Development Finance Institutions and their roles in developmental projects. It utilized storytelling, lived experiences, and practical campaigning to make climate finance accessible and relevant.
Day 1 featured insightful sessions facilitated by experts such as Nana Mariam Yussif, Ebenezer Adu Gyamfi, and Courtney Morgan. Key discussions included "The Positionality of Finance," which explored finance's human aspects, and "Climate Finance 101," led by Chibeze Ezekiel, focusing on accessing international climate finance. These sessions highlighted effective strategies like understanding country priorities, fostering collaborations, and building trust, while identifying ineffective practices such as working in silos and poor delivery.
On Day 2, moderators Sarfoh Danquah and Joy Ohaegbu guided sessions on International Financial Institutions and community engagement strategies. Zahra Omar and Courtney Morgan shared experiences and mechanisms for engaging with financial institutions, while group activities encouraged participants to strategize collectively on campaign tactics.
Cedric Dzelu's participation in the Fair Finance School marks a significant step for Frontline for Climate Action in championing climate change solutions. This opportunity enhances the organization's ability to advocate for effective financial strategies and collaborate on the frontline of the climate crisis. By integrating these insights, Frontline for Climate Action aims to drive impactful change and foster resilience in communities affected by climate change.
