The Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves will leverage the reach and depth of the sector to achieve a thriving global market for clean cookstoves and fuels at scale. Phase 2 (2015-2017) marks a significant shift of the Alliance and its partners towards demand creation, while continuing our work to strengthen supply and foster an enabling environment. Through the generous support of our donors and our 1200 partners, the Alliance commits to:

1. Support health, climate, gender, adoption, and consumer research, and use this information to launch behaviour change and consumer-facing awareness campaigns to increase awareness of household air pollution and drive demand for and adoption of cleaner cooking solutions

2. Continue efforts to drive financing and direct enterprise capacity building, with support mechanisms ranging from early stage grant funding, through subsidized capital, to angel equity, and ultimately commercial capital

3. Partner with SE4All to increase accessibility of clean stoves and fuels by strengthening and extending clean fuel supply chains and last-mile distribution channels and leveraging new ones through pilots, capacity-building for enterprises, and the sharing of best practices

4. Enhance cookstove and fuel performance via the Alliance’s leadership in the ongoing ISO process to establish standards for the sector to ensure that technologies achieve the desired benefits for health, livelihoods, and environment

5. Share the Alliance operating and financing models for inclusive engagement of a variety of actors in the delivery of or accomplishment of the SDGs and COP goals
