Join our ESMAP webinar on practical delivery and financing models for a clean cooking intervention.

In this session, you’ll hear from clean cooking experts and government representatives from Uganda, Ghana, and Bangladesh on planning, implementing, and lessons learned from delivering clean cooking interventions tailored to local contexts.

Advancing clean cooking investment requires coordinated action across stakeholders. Uganda channels capital through financial institutions and a results-based financing facility to expand appliance delivery with geographic incentives. Ghana’s mature ecosystem—combining government initiatives, private sector leadership, trade associations, testing labs, and independent verification—has broadened access. In Bangladesh, the World Bank, with Green Climate Fund co-financing, supported a program that delivered efficient, locally tailored rural solutions, built entrepreneurial supply chains, stimulated demand through partnerships, and scaled cost-effectively.

These approaches were grounded in mapping local supply chains; assessing fuel access for target communities and beneficiaries; government policies in conjunction with other sectors, such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG); and the state, potential, and access to financing of domestic stove suppliers and manufacturers.
