The Center for Cycling Expertise (CCE) is a Ghanaian NGO set up with the primary aim of supporting and promoting sustainable Non-Motorized Transport (NMT) in Ghana.

Since, CCE's establishment 6 years ago, that is, in 2002 the following are some of the activities that had been undertaken by the Centre:

  • A mobility study of Accra in a report titled "Cycling in Accra : A case study"

CCE has made great progress toward promoting NMT in Ghana . However we think that there is room for improvement to strengthen the course that we are charting to promote and support NMT.

To achieve our goals and objectives, CCE plans to do this in collaboration with a number of stakeholders in the public and private institutions as well as individuals who support and contribute to the promotion of cycling.
