Kigali Cooling Efficiency Program (K-CEP)

17 foundations and individuals have pledged $51 million to help increase the energy efficiency of cooling in developing countries. Through K-CEP, these funds will help nations transition to more efficient cooling equipment, phasing down the production and use of HFCs and replacing them with newer, climate-safe coolants. Foundations and donors contributing to K-CEP include: Barr Foundation Bill Gates Children’s Investment Fund Foundation ClimateWorks Foundation David and Lucile Packard Foundation Heising-Simons Foundation John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Josh and Anita Bekenstein John and Ann Doerr Laura and John Arnold Oak Foundation Open Philanthropy Project Pisces Foundation Sandler Foundation Sea Change Foundation William and Flora Hewlett Foundation Wyss Foundation Technical Advisory Committee K-CEP’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) provides guidance on strategy, investments, and reporting, monitoring, and evaluation. The Efficiency Cooling Office (ECO) serves as the K-CEP program office, providing grantmaking, reporting, program management, and other services to help K-CEP funders and partners maximize the climate and development benefits of K-CEP.
