Description
Clean Cooking is a project that promotes renewable energy for households in Mali and Niger Its main role is to support the “Mali Ethanol Stove Program” while ensuring that all parties involved in this program comply with the requirements of this program to ensure the best quality of this. The objective of this program is to sell 500,000 ethanol and solar stoves to Malian and Nigerian households by 2023. These stoves are not only profitable but will also allow households to have "a better life". This program will also bring economic development for Africa as a whole. the executing entities are the Dutch cooperation (SNV), the German cooperation GIZ, the World Bank, the United Nations Development Program UNDP. Access to clean fuels and technologies for cooking (% of population) in west Africa was reported at 0.91 % in 2016, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources. West Africa - Access to clean fuels and technologies for cooking (% of population) - actual values, historical data, forecasts and projections were sourced from the World Bank on July of 2020. Fast-tracking the transition to clean cooking fuels and technologies is critical to reach the Sustainable Development Goal on energy (SDG7) and requires measures such as results-based financing and wide participation from both the public and private sectors. The World Bank has established a planned $500 million Clean Cooking Fund to accelerate progress toward universal access to clean cooking by 2030.
Expected impact
Cooking is a fundamental part of life. It is an activity that brings families together and has cultural and social significance around the world. But in some developing countries, solid fuels like wood and coal are often used in traditional stoves for cooking. The use of such polluting fuels and technologies results in household air pollution, causing respiratory illnesses, heart problems and even death. In fact, indoor air pollution causes more than 4 million premature deaths every year—50 percent of which are children under the age of 5.
Women and children are disproportionately affected by household air pollution, due to levels of exposure and because they often spend a significant part of their day collecting the fuel—firewood for instance—needed to cook a meal. Residential solid fuel burning accounts for up to 58 percent of global black carbon emissions and a gigaton of carbon dioxide per year—approximately 2 percent of global emissions.
Despite three decades of efforts, access to clean cooking fuel and technologies has continued to be an issue with severe health, gender, economic, environmental, and climate impacts. Nearly three billion people today do not have access to modern cooking services—that is more than the combined population of India and China.
Clean cooking must be a political, economic, and environmental priority, supported by policies and backed by investments and multi-sector partnerships. To make that kind of change, the level of commitment and the scale of investment matter. To that end, the World Bank’s Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) has established a planned US$500 million Clean Cooking Fund (CCF), with contributions from the Netherlands. Norway and the United Kingdom also support the Fund.
