Nairobi, 05 December, 2025 / 5:44 pm (ACI Africa).

The Laudato Si Movement Africa Programs Coordinator  has underscored the importance of the first-ever Climate Finance Watch Tool in funding climate action, loss and damage.

In an interview with ACI Africa after the Wednesday, December 3 piloting of the tool to a virtual audience that included interfaith partners, NGOs, and civil society activists, Steeven Kezamutima said that the tool, which is currently meant for Kenya, will be shared across Africa once fully completed.

“This is a very important tool in climate space because funding climate action, loss and damage has been at the centre of global discussion,” Mr. Kezamutima told ACI Africa on Friday, December 5.

He explained, “This tool addresses key aspects of transparency, making funds visible and accessible, holding institutions accountable for their climate finance commitments, and tracking the impacts of climate investment.” 

The Climate Finance Watch Tool, the Nairobi-based Burundian national who also launched his song on Climate change further said, “is an interactive tool that empowers citizens, researchers, journalists on how to monitor climate-related funding, amount allocated and how it is spent.”
