An annual investment of around $6 billion is needed in sub-Saharan Africa to combat the challenges posed by polluting stoves, a new report has said.
The newly released 2023 Clean Cooking Industry Snapshot, a report by the Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA), says total funding raised globally by clean cooking enterprises is still well below the $8 billion required every year across the globe, to achieve universal access by 2030, according to International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates.
