This report is a collaborative effort between the African Energy Commission (AFREC) under the African Clean Cooking Programme, and Modern Energy Cooking Services Programme (MECS) initiated at margins COP 28 held in Dubai in December of 2023. The African Clean Cooking Programme is an AFREC lead initiative called for by the African Ministers responsible for Transport and Energy during the 4th Ordinary Session of the Specialised Technical Committee on Transport, Transcontinental and Inter-regional Infrastructure, and Energy held on 12-15 September 2023 in Zanzibar, Tanzania in response to the clean cooking challenge in Africa. The intent is to help establish a baseline and track progress on clean cooking in the continent; disseminate information on the status of clean cooking across Africa, support the development of evidenced based and targeted clean cooking programmes, and establish an African Clean Cooking Facility to raise funds and support African Union Member States in the transition to clean cooking.
