ECCA at the Africa Climate Summit 2 – Advancing CleanCooking in Africa 🌍
The Ethiopian Clean Cooking Alliance (ECCA) is proud to have organized the Clean Cooking Side Event at the Second Africa Climate Summit 2 (ACS2) in Addis Ababa.

This marks a major milestone in highlighting the urgent need to accelerate clean cooking access for the 1.2 billion people across Africa who still lack access to sustainable solutions. The side event was formally opened by Tewodros Berihun, Chairperson of ECCA, who delivered the welcoming and opening remarks.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our side event moderator, Daniel Wanjohi, chair- person of Clean Cooking Association of Kenya (CCAK) our keynote speaker Verena Johanna Brinkmann from Energising Development (EnDev), and Temesgen Tefera Delelle, Energy Advisor at the Ministry of Water and Energy (MoWE), for presenting Ethiopia’s_Clean_Cooking_Roadmap.

💡 Our panelists brought diverse perspectives on how policy, innovation, and finance can be effectively integrated to achieve national and regional clean cooking goals:
Temesgen Tefera Delelle – ethiopian ministry of water energy
Peter Scott – BURN
Kerstin Wilde – DBFZ Deutsches Biomasseforschungszentrum gemeinnützige GmbH / ETH SOIL – BIO-POWER FOR HEALTHY SOILS
Rekik (ረቂቅ) B. – Green Scene Energy

Your expertise and insights are deeply valued. By bringing together government institutions, development partners, stove producers, and sector associations such as ECCA, we can build the collective action needed to transform the clean cooking sector.
We are especially grateful to our long-standing partners at GIZ Ethiopia and Djibouti / Energising Development (EnDev) for their continued partnership and financial support in making this side event possible.
Together, we move closer to ensuring that clean cooking is not just a climate priority, but a reality for every household across Africa.
To all Ethiopians wishing you a Happy New Year! (#2018) 🌻 🌻
