Advancing Clean Cookingin Africa

AdvancingCleanCookinginAfrica – Regional Collaboration in Action
The Ethiopian Clean Cooking Alliance (ECCA) was proud to participate as a panelist in the UNDP-led Co-Design Workshop on Expanding Access to Modern and Clean Cooking Solutions in Africa, held in Ababa Addis.
This timely and strategic event brought together diverse stakeholders from across Africa, including representatives from government, development agencies, the private sector, and civil society. Together, we co-designed a transformative, gender-responsive regional program aimed at accelerating cleancooking adoption while addressing climate resilience, health, and inclusive development.

During the panel session, ECCA shared Ethiopia’s experience, highlighting:
✅ The recent launch of the NationalCleanCookingRoadmap
✅ Lessons from local implementation and value chain coordination
✅ The importance of leveraging carbon finance for affordability and sustainability
✅ The need for inclusive, cross-sectoral partnerships to drive scale and impact

We applaud UNDP Regional Service Center for Africa and partners for facilitating such an important dialogue and look forward to contributing to the design and implementation of this regional initiative.
At ECCA, we remain committed to making clean cooking a national and continental priority, ensuring no one is left behind in the energy transition.
