Primary climate risk
Gully erosion
Gully erosion on escarpment slopes destroys farmland and roads and threatens homes in affected communities.
Source (2022)What the public record covers
On the other questions the documents say something, but not enough to confirm the answer. CAI also read 82 climate-relevant budget and expenditure lines published by this jurisdiction.
This shows what CAI found in public documents, not climate performance. A gap in the record is not a zero, and is not proof that nothing is happening.

Where the public record stops
- To establish this fully, complete a source-level check of the time-bound implementation matrix, named owners, measurable performance indicators, explicit costing/funding or budget linkage, and official progress/review evidence within 24 months.
- To establish this fully, verify stable identifiable resources, relevant technical competence beyond leadership, formal cross-MDA coordination across at least two current cycles/equivalent work products, and a recurring work/reporting cycle.

This shows how many published lines mention each kind of climate work. It does not show how much money was allocated, and it does not show what was actually spent.
Where the public record stops
- The public record shows general fiscal/audit accountability visibility, but does not disclose a completed audit-control cycle specifically covering climate-relevant public expenditure with response and independent closure.

- 03
Publish the audit of climate spending
Release which climate-related spending was audited, what the auditors found, how serious it was, and how government answered.
- 04
Publish the results data
Release results data showing where work happened, how many people it reached, how many were in priority groups, and how that compares with the stated targets.
- 05
Publish the climate plan and its status
