@SEforALLorg@DamilolaSDG7@MikeBloomberg@ProSyn@DamilolaSDG7 , African governments should rise to the occasion. The policy frameworks and the investment prospectus are in disarray. There is no compelling and cohesive framework to deal with access at continental , regional and moreso,country level.

1/5 The EU has cobbled an ambitious plan- REPowerEU, to quickly exit dependency on Russian fossil fuels.
Solar energy will be the kingpin of the initiative.The initiative seeks to bring online 320GW by 2025,

Slow progress towards #cleancookingsolutions is of grave global concern, affecting human health and the environment.Under current policies, one-third of the world's population would still be deprived of access to #cleanfuels and exposed to harmful household #airpollution by 2030.
@SEforALLorg@cleancooking @FijianGovt @FijianGovt is an excellent opportunity to dissect the clean cooking conundrum. The political and policy framework is there, but is the technology appropriate and sustainable to be deemed sustainable clean cooking??
