Clean cooking
Advancing the Clean Cooking Agenda in Africa
Clean cooking remains one of Africa’s most pressing development challenges, and one of the most solvable. Around 1 billion people in Africa still cook with polluting fuels – half of the global total – and their number is still rising. Women and children bear the brunt. Yet universal access by around 2040 would require around USD 2 billion a year in Africa, a small fraction of global energy investment.

The transformation should among other things deliver an inclusive and sustainable development by leveraging on the immerse natural and human resources in the continent. Against this backdrop of ambition an often-neglected contributor to a healthy economy is the role of clean cooking services in supporting a healthy population.
