Clean Cooking Solutions and Household Energy Access

Millions of African households still cook with wood and charcoal, causing severe health, gender and deforestation impacts. This programme examines clean cooking technologies, delivery models and financing that expand access to cleaner fuels and efficient stoves. Delegates learn how to design and manage clean cooking programmes that achieve real adoption and lasting behaviour change.
