Direction & Budget Allocation

The Clean Cooling Network Strategy and Oversight Committee (CCN-SOC) provide the overarching direction of the programme and approve the budget allocation and objectives for each operating unit/market as well as check back on progress.

The Academic team led by the Centre of Sustainable Cooling is responsible of programme design, content development and new market development.

Each country develops an in-country programme management team tapping into the central experts and using the tools and frameworks developed available through the knowledge platform. The Africa Clean Cooling Institute specifically supports the roll0-out of the SPOKE programme in Africa.
