Major new commitments of funding announced for clean cooking in Africa

The International Energy Agency (IEA) announced on Thursday that $900-million of new commitments had been made to the international Clean Cooking in Africa (CCA) initiative. Further, of the $2.2-billion pledged at the inaugural CCA summit in Paris in 2024, $740-million had already been deployed, spread across 22 African countries. “At the 2024 Summit, I committed that we would track every dollar pledged and every stove reaching households,” highlighted IEA executive director Fatih Birol. “Our focus now is to maintain this momentum, mobilise further investment, and work with countries to turn commitments into lasting impact for the millions of people who still lack access to clean cooking.”
