CPI\u2019s work in Africa supports governments, financial institutions, civil society organizations, and the private sector to close the climate finance gap and improve the distribution, private sector participation, and integrity of investment in climate action and sustainable growth across the continent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Representative Africa-focused CPI work includes the Africa regional program of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatefinancelab.org\/network\/southern-africa\/\">Global Innovation Lab for Climate Finance<\/a>, numerous climate finance tracking analyses including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatepolicyinitiative.org\/publication\/landscape-of-climate-finance-in-africa\/\">The Landscape of Climate Finance in Africa<\/a>, and implementation efforts such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatepolicyinitiative.org\/the-programs\/the-global-ndc-implementation-partners-gniplus\/\">Global NDC Implementation Partners<\/a> (GNI+).
