Off-Grid Cold Chain Solution in Africa

CLOSED: Tender for Pay-as-you-chill Cold Chain Solutions in Zambia Pilot is now open! ❄️

Crop wastage in rural Africa is consistently measured at up to 40% and constitutes a significant loss of productivity, water resources and income potential. To help tackle that we are piloting Cold Chain Solutions in Zambia. Could you or someone you know help bring this to life?

This pilot seeks to create a sustainable, scalable “payment in increments” (also known as Pay-as-you-go or lease-to-own) business model for cold chain solutions targeted at smallholder farming communities. This will utilise refrigerated shipping containers as the default technology around which a business model is built 🆒

We are looking to work with mobile payments, technology, and (or) business solutions providers; as well as experts with a keen understanding of and interest in cold chain solutions and (or) smallholder farming in Zambia. If this sounds like you, please do not hesitate in reviewing this pilot tender and share widely with your networks!

The Invitation to Tender is available at the following LINK.

Please note that the deadline for questions is at 23:59 UK time on Wednesday 31st July and the deadline for applications is at 23:59 UK time on Friday 8th August, 2019.

We look forward to reviewing what comes in and a successful future pilot!
