On May 8th 2024, #Tanzania launched its National Clean Cooking Energy Strategy. With a massive TZS 4.6 trillion investment, it targets to reach 80% adoption of #cleancooking energy from 10% today for households by 2034. Schools, colleges, and prisons will also be converted. #SDG7

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

Nearly 300 million people need to gain access to cleaner cooking each year to 2030 to achieve universal access goals this decade.

The solutions needed to do this are low-cost & all commercially available today.
