[Dr. Akinwumi A. Adesina, CON, CGH @akin_adesina]

The ⁦@AfDB_Group⁩ commits $ 2 billion to clean cooking in Africa. No woman should have to cook again with fuelwood, charcoal and biomass that kills 600,000 persons per year. It is more than lighting a clean stove, it is about life and dignity!⁩ ⁦@EmmanuelMacron⁩
