The African Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Cooling and Cold-chain (ACES) is being established by the
Governments of Rwanda and the United Kingdom, UNEP United for Efficiency (U4E), the Centre for Sustainable
Cooling, and academics in both countries. ACES is being pursued through the Rwanda Cooling Initative (R-COOL), a
joint program of U4E and Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA) to advance the country’s sustainable
development priorities and ambitions for enhanced collaboration on sustainable cooling throughout the continent.
