The government has launched a nationwide data collection exercise that will guide investments in clean cooking technologies for public learning institutions as part of efforts to expand the National School Meals Programme while advancing environmental sustainability and climate resilience.

The initiative, spearheaded by the National Council for Nomadic Education in Kenya (NACONEK), will gather school-specific information to support the rollout of climate-smart cooking technologies and develop Kenya's first National Investment Pipeline for institutional clean cooking.

Speaking during the National Sensitization Workshop on the Nationwide Data Collection Exercise for Institutional Clean Cooking and the Development of a National Investment Pipeline for Sustainable and Universal Climate-Smart School Meals, NACONEK Chief Executive Officer Harun Yussuf said school feeding remains one of the government's most important investments in human capital.
