The Clean Cooling Network

The Clean Cooling Network Born in Rwanda - Global in Vision Welcome to the Clean Cooling Network The Africa Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Cooling and Cold-chain (ACES) in Rwanda and a reference SPOKE in Kenya were developed as the launch pad for a global programme of regional Centres of Excellence to increase access to resilient, efficient and climate-friendly cooling and cold-chain for all. The programme is already being rolled into multiple markets in Africa (Senegal and Lesotho alongside Rwanda and Kenya) and India (Telangana and Haryana). Over the next three years, our global reach is planned to continue to grow driven by our team of more than 60 researchers and experts and our industry leaders, international development agencies and governments partners. Alongside the physical Centres and SPOKEs, the programme is underpinned by this website and an online knowledge and training platform to provide a central access point for all news, content, tools and training materials. It is a place where a wide variety of relevant stakeholders can convene to learn, discuss, share and teach. To support the global vision, we have created an umbrella brand for the programme – the Clean Cooling Network – under which each project will retain its national identity and country-led approach. Our objective is to promote cooling and cold-chain as critical national infrastructure and provide the tools, knowledge, training and support to deliver inclusive, equitable and future-proofed solutions with minimum environmental impact, ensuring sustainability and resilience in a fast warming and changing world.
