CooP-Africa aanpak in Afrika
De missie van CooP-Africa is het verbeteren van toegang
(beschikbaarheid en toegankelijkheid) tot een fiets als
middel voor armoedereductie en het initiëren en promoten
van fietsinterventies die kunnen bijdragen aan het
verbeteren van het leven van Afrikaanse gezinnen.
De fiets biedt mogelijkheden voor verbeterde toegang tot
inkomsten, onderwijs en gezondheidszorg, en zorgt voor
verbetering van de sociaaleconomische positie van
Afrikaanse gezinnen. Daarnaast biedt de fiets, als
milieuvriendelijk vervoermiddel, kansen voor een
duurzaam leefbare samenleving.
CooP-Africa approach in Africa
Coop-Africa’s mission is to improve access (availability and
accessibility) to a bicycle as an agent for poverty reduction and
the initiation and promotion of bicycle interventions that can
contribute to the improvement in the well-being of African
families. For this, CooP-Africa uses the following interventions
in Africa:
CooP-Africa supports the
African Bicycle Network
so African organisations
can share information and
learn from each other - so
it isn’t necessary to
reinvent the wheel.
Why the bicycle?
The bicycle provides possibilities for
better access to income, education and
health, and improves the
socioeconomic position of African
families. Besides, the bicycle is an
environmentally-friendly mode of
transport which provides opportunities
for a sustainable society.
Walking more than 10km to school ensures a lack of energy when sitting in the class or
standing in front of it, so students can’t give their full attention to learning. CooP-Africa
offers:
- bicycles on credit for students and teachers
- school activities to promote the use of bicycles and improve access to
education
Bike4School projects create favourable conditions for school performance, and can
improve access to education.
CooP-Africa supports the design,
development and production of
modified bicycles and carts. The
innovative bicycle designs of African
Bicycle Design make affordable
bicycles available for each purpose
and every one.
Bicycle taxis, street vendors, merchants, farmers, trash collectors, etc. For Africans who
know very well how to earn money with a bicycle, but who lack means and/or skills,
Coop-Africa offers:
- (modified) bicycles and trailers
- support in the development of bicycle-businesses
- job opportunities in the bicycle industry (e.g. bicycle workshops)
- training for bicycle mechanics.
In the Bike4Work projects, the bicycle is the means to self-empowerment. For many
entrepreneurs, this access to a bicycle means that they can save on transport costs
and/or increase their income so that they can improve their well-being.
Good accessibility to medical services is essential. For both patients who need to
access a health facility and medical staff visiting patients at home for home care,
education and supervision, CooP-Africa offers:
- modified bicycles
- bicycle ambulances
By using a bicycle, more patients can be visited and remote patients can be accessed
faster. Bicycle ambulances make it possible to bring sick people and pregnant women to
the health centre in a fast, cheap and comfortable manner.

Burkina Faso
Bicycles were given out on credit through partner
organisation AVO, all financed through revolving funds
from earlier projects.
Uganda
In 2012, bicycle-on-credit
programmes were started in 10
locations, in which 56 bicycles
were distributed. In 2013, 44
more bicycles will be distributed.
Kenya
In Kenya bicycles were issued on credit through
the bicycle workshop in Kisumu. In 2012, a
small number of entrepreneurs started a drink
delivery service.
Bicycles on credit
Many Africans have no many to buy a bicycle,
but do have a vision of how they could use a
bicycle to earn money. These people (women
are especially encouraged to participate) can
come to one of our African partner
organisations for a bicycle which can be paid off
in instalments. For farmers, merchants, bicycle
taxi drivers, etc., the bicycle is a means through
which they can build a better future.
Rwanda
60 bicycles were issued on credit
to two groups in the town
Gakomeye, and also bicycles
were given out from payments
from earlier groups in the towns
of Gakenke and Ngeruka through
the partner organisation FAPDR.
.
Brian, juice vendor in Kenya
I used to sell juices walking
in the street and carrying a
small cooler. Recently, I
bought a freight bicycle, on
credit. With this pimped
bicycle I now sell four times
as much as I used to. As I
can bring more drinks with
me, I’m much more mobile,
so I can be in strategic
places at the right time.

Burkina Faso
The AVO workshop repaired around 300 bicycles
and made a number of metallurgy products (such
as windows, doors and toys). There was a small
profit, which was used to make the bicycle-on-
credit program sustainable.
Bicycle workshop projects
CooP-Africa also supports bicycle workshops.
On one hand this creates employment for
mechanics, on the other hand it ensures that
there are good mechanics available for bicycle
users in our projects. Experience learns that to
be financially self-sufficient, it is necessary to
not only focus on bicycles, but also on other
activities such as producing metallurgy
products. Since this doesn’t interfere with the
goals of the workshops, and it is a necessity for
the bicycle component to survive, this is an
important lesson learnt.
Uganda
The bicycle-component of the
BSPW workshop in Uganda is
slowly being expanded. In 2012,
only a few models were
produced because BSPW is in an
internal organisation process. In
2013, the bicycle-component
will be further developed.
Kenya
The CBW workplace had a
good development in 2012
with a new supervisor, so
the year was closed with a
small profit. The road
construction in front of the
door forms a challenge for
the workers because of the
dust.
In 2012, a feasibility study
showed that a workplace in
Nairobi isn’t feasible.

Uganda
31 youths were trained as a
bicycle technician at 6 locations
where a Bike4Care programme
is running. The large group of
Bike4Care beneficiaries are
clients for the bicycle
technicians. The biggest
challenge is the access to spare
parts which are only
sporadically distributed in
Northern Uganda.
Kenia
6 bicycle mechanics are being trained to repair
bicycles with a coaster brake. They work in the areas
where Bike4Care programmes are located, and
bicycles with coaster brakes are used in that
programme.
Fietswerkplaatsprojecten
CooP-Africa ondersteunt ook fietswerkplaatsen.
Enerzijds levert dit werkgelegenheid op voor
mecaniciens, anderzijds zorgt dit ervoor dat er
goede fietsenmakers beschikbaar zijn. De
ervaring leert dat voor economische
onafhankelijkheid het noodzakelijk is dat de
werkplaatsen zich niet alleen op fietsen richten,
maar ook op andere activiteiten zoals de
productie van ramen, hekwerk,
speelgoedtoestellen, etc. Omdat dit het doel
van de werkplaatsen niet in de weg staat, en
het bovendien ervoor zorgt dat de
fietscomponent kan blijven bestaan is dit een
belangrijke geleerde les.
Bicycle mechanics
One of the was to make a living by using
bicycles is being a bicycle mechanic. That is why
CooP-Africa trains bicycle mechanics.

Demoproject: Bike2Clean
In 2012, experience was expanded for the
Bike2Clean project on three locations: Jinja
(Uganda), Kisumu (Kenya) en Koudougou (Burkina
Faso).
- In Jinja, during the year 2012 business planning
was carried out for a group of 5 youths who
collect garbage by bicycle (with 5 tricycles and
4 bicycle-trailers), and individual garbage
collectors were supported with the
development of their business (with 15
tricycles).
- In Kisumu, garbage collectors (with 8 tricycles,
5 trailers, and 4 bicycles) and garbage
processors (with 3 tricycles and 2 trailers) were
supported. This was successful for the garbage
collectors (105% more income), but not for
garbage processors (suppliers don’t want to
pay rent for tricycles).
In Koudougou, a feasibility study was done for the
use of 5 tricycles, 5 bicycle trailers, and 2 pushcarts
to collect garbage.
Demoproject: Bike2Rism
The organisation “Bikeventures Tours, Rentals and Events” was started in May 2012,
and now rents bikes and organises tour events. In 2012, the promotion material was
developed, such as city maps, banners, T-shirts, hats, flyers and brochures.
Bikeventures has organised tours for 62 people and 19 bicycles have been rented
(from a few hours to a few months). In 2012, the operational costs of the enterprise
were covered, which is a great achievement.
Demoprojects
Demoprojects for entrepreneurship involve
enterprises in which a bicycle is used. The
enterprises are supported in finances and/or in
business planning, depending on the need.
When a demoproject proves successful, the
experience can be used for up scaling in other
locations.

Uganda en Kenya
In 2010, CooP-Africa made an important choice regarding the type of bicycles. A model
was chosen which looks athletic, can support heavy loads, and for which spare parts are
locally available – and therefore can also be repaired locally. This model has been
marked as a CooP-Africa bicycle. In 2013, the ordered bikes will arrive. This means that
until then, no Bike4School bicycles can be distributed.
Meanwhile, in 2012 the local coordinators in Kenya and Uganda have visited many
schools to explain the programme. Eight schools in Uganda and 10 in Kenya have started
a collaboration with Bike4School.
Conceptualisation
In 2012, the Bike4School concept was
developed. Students can apply for a bicycle
on credit at the beginning of the school
year. The first months, they save for the
payments. During the rest of the months
to the end of the school year, they pay off
most of the debt. If, at the end of the year,
their grades and presence has improved,
they receive a voucher for a part of the
school tuition the next year: the perform-
to-own principle.

Uganda
In 2012, a Bike4Care
programme was started at 3
locations in Uganda. With the
support of the Bernard van Leer
Foundation, 410 aid workers
were supplied with a bicycle in
2012. Our partner organisation
BSPW assembled the 410 bikes
and added a modified carrier to
the front and red mudguards so
they can be recognized as
bicycles of health workers.
Bicycle mechanics have also
been trained in the 3 areas (see
Bike4Work).
The bikes which were used for the Bike4Care in Kenya in 2012 come
from the Hoge Veluw (the Netherlands). In principle, CooP-Africa
doesn’t use second-hand imported bikes for African projects. Rather,
bikes are bought at local markets. However, CooP-Africa deviated
from this principle and collaborated with the Hoge Veluwe national
park and Air France KLM Cargo. Beforehand, a number of criteria
were defined: the bike is an identical, maintenance friendly and sturdy
model, and there are good possibilities for obtaining reserve parts and
repairs. The bicyclse are user-friendly, sturdy, identical, and uni-sex.
The impact of the use of second-hand bicycles will be evaluated when
they have been used for one year.
Kenya
In 2012, 235 bikes were distributed to aid workers in Kenya at 7
locations. The aid workers received a training about bicycle
maintenance and simple repairs. To support this, a handbook
was developed which the aid workers could take home. Bicycle
mechanics were trained in the areas where the bicycles were
put into use (see Bike4Work).
Conceptualisation
In 2012, the Bike4Care concept was
further developed. The heath workers
pay for the bicycle partly in money, and
partly by continuing to volunteer as a
health worker for a minimum of 2 years:
the work-to-own principle. Furthermore,
the health workers get the opportunity
to set up income generating activities.
The groups make a business plan for this
activity together with our local
coordinator.

Bicycle carts
In 2011 two prototypes of
bicycle carts were
developed, for which an
evaluation among users took
place in 2012. This
evaluation showed that the
bicycle carts: increase
income, are an alternative
for motorised transport and
this way reduces CO2
emissions, and increase the
range of the user.
Hand powered tricycle
The CBW workplace in Kenya, together
with an ABN team, has developed a
hand powered tricycle especially for
disabled entrepreneurs. The team went
to work in optimizing existing models
so that disabled entrepreneurs can get
more out of their businesses. Together
with disabled people, a list of
requirements was made upon which
the design was based.

Pedicab
To provide an environmentally-friendly
alternative for proliferating motorised taxi
traffic in Kisumu Kenya, 2 types of a pedicab
have been designed and produced. Research
was also done regarding the pricing of the
fares and legal vehicle requirements. The
pedicab uses an electromagnetic engine which
is powered by solar energy. In 2013, the
pedicab will be used as a vehicle in a
Bike4Work project for bicycle taxi-
entrepreneurs.

for Netherlands Fellowship Program (NFP) Alumni. The ABN had a primarily
facilitating role in this course.
The African Bicycle Network organised a
workweek to design a hand powered
tricycle. Participants included:
- The ABN members who already
make a tricycle for disabled
persons, but not for entrepreneurs
- Students of the Polytechnic Kisumu
- Students of Delft University of
Technology
- Disabled entrepreneurs
The workweek was partly developed by
Jeroen Spoelstra (teacher at

In the Netherlands, CooP-Africa is focused on the informing of various target groups
about the role a bicycle can have in the achievement of the Millennium Development
Goals. Where possible, these target groups are activated to contribute to the objectives
of CooP-Africa and the various bicycle interventions. The resources which are deployed to
this end are:
- Promotion material and packets for sponsors/activists
- Press releases and articles
- Presentations at conferences and fairs
- Active reporting via the website
- Active reporting via social media
- Good News Newspaper publications and digital newsletter
- School curriculum development
Publications
- Printed media: CooP-Africa and Roel Peerenboom interview in the magazine for bicycle trade
“Tweewieler” and a publication in Transparantkrant about the highest new entrant.
- Television: Local news channel in Kenya ‘Citizen news’ did an item about the health workers and
the CooP-Africa bike.
- Digital media: On May 10th, websites of National Bike Projects mentioned CooP-Africa in relation
with Bike-to-Work day. Furthermore, sponsor websites: Fietsen4Fietsen, Frank van Rijn, Chill ‘em
for Africa, 1%club, Yes We Care, Sportservice Overijssel en FietsVriendin, Fietsen Scoort, Eerlijke
Kansen, Across. Articles and links on the websites: Africa Miracles, Bikeplanet, Mobility
Consultant, Ziezeeland, Blik op Nieuws, Banierhuis, Zwets.com
-
Promotion material and sponsor packets
In 2012, new promotion material was published in
CooP-Africa’s new style. The material includes a
general flyer and a separate flyer for each
intervention. Both are published in Dutch and
English. A photo book about Bike4School is being
developed, which will be printed in 2013. For the
rest, there are postcards, bicycle flags and cycling
shirts with the logo, which were made as part of
the sponsor packets.
Fairs and events
At the Cycling & Walking fair in RAI Amsterdam, active volunteers were present at
the CooP-Africa stand. The stand was visited by many enthusiastic people.
On May 10, 2012, CooP-Africa organised the first Friends of CooP-Africa event. The
event was organized by 13 students of Stedelijk Gymnasium High School in
Nijmegen, and a total of 50 people were present.
On Sunday June 17th, CooP-Africa was present in Park Lepelenburg in Utrecht for a
musical and creative event ‘Chill’ em for Africa’.
In September, CooP-Africa gave a presentation about its programs during the
course “Planning for Cycling in Sub-Sahara African Cities” in Kisumu.

Website
Visits to the website have increased by 28% in
2012, because the website was well-
maintained in 2012. The newsletter also
attracted many visitors.
Social Media
In 2012, CooP-Africa paid more attention to social media. In April
2012, we started actively on Facebook, with almost 2 messages per
week, a total of more than 70 messages in 2012. At the end of 2012,
we had 158 ‘likes’ on the Facebook page. On Twitter we shared a
tweet weekly. At the end of 2012, there were 118 followers.
Good News Newspaper and digital newsletter
By the end of December 2012, 870 e-mail
addresses had a subscription to the
newsletter. During the year, 8 newsletters
were sent through the newsletter module of
the website. CooP-Africa didn’t publish a Good
News Newspaper during 2012.
School curriculum
In 2012, an online toolkit for
students at
www.mobiliteitenontwikkeling.org
which links to the ‘Mobility and
Development’ curriculum, the
teachers manual and the student
bundle were prepared. The
development and implementation
of this curriculum was subsidized
by the SBOS program of the Dutch
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 2012,
11 schools used the curriculum in
Geography, English and Social
Studies classes. Newsletters were
written, videos were made, and
debates were organised. CooP-
Africa worked together with the
FairPen foundation in this project.

In the Netherlands, CooP-Africa raises funds for the
programmes in Africa. In 2012, a total of €253.730 was
raised, which is less than in 2011 and the prognosis for
2012. However, in 2011 many funds received were intended
for 2012 and following years. This causes a biased
representation of the fundraising for the past few years. It is
obvious that the funds raised are far behind the prognosis
for 2012. Lagging numbers are especially caused by
disappointing results in “private fundraising” and “benefits
from communal actions”

and executive tasks. The supervision is responsibility of the
board and the executive tasks are in the hands of the
management, employees, local coordinators, volunteers,
interns, and partner organisations in the Netherlands and
project countries.
The staff members are responsible for handling the charity’s
daily operational tasks in an adequate and responsible manner.

made up of:
- Director: Luuk Eickmans
