Clean Air Network’s biogas project transforms organic waste into clean energy for cooking, addressing the issues of poor waste disposal, such as burning and open dumping, which contribute to air pollution in Ugandan cities. We work closely with local communities by organizing groups of women and youth to actively participate in waste collection and sorting, ensuring that organic waste is properly separated from recyclables. This community-driven approach not only empowers participants but also facilitates the production and distribution of biogas directly to households, providing a sustainable energy source while reducing health risks and the economic burden of air pollution-related illnesses on the government.

Our Campaign Bootcamp equips individuals with the skills, confidence, and community support necessary to develop clean air innovations and run impactful campaigns. This comprehensive program includes a one-week residential training, followed by a year-long remote coaching with expert campaigners, ensuring participants gain both in-depth knowledge and ongoing mentorship. Our aim is to cultivate powerful innovators and campaigners who can effectively create solutions and influence climate and air quality regulations, driving meaningful change in their communities.

At Clean Air Network, we actively partner with relevant stakeholders, including governmental agencies, community organizations, and academic institutions, to drive data-driven campaigns against air pollution in Ugandan cities. By collaborating with these entities, we gather and analyze comprehensive air quality data, which informs our strategies and helps us identify the most pressing pollution sources. This evidence-based approach enables us to design targeted interventions and raise public awareness, ultimately empowering communities to advocate for cleaner air and influencing policy decisions that promote sustainable practices and improve air quality across the region.
