In 2021, the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum requested technical assistance to develop a Kenya National Clean Cooking Strategy (KNCCS) and a National eCooking Strategy (KNeCS) to achieve universal access to clean cooking services by 2028. The Clean Cooking Strategy is a roadmap for achieving universal access, while the eCooking Strategy is a pathway for accelerating uptake of cooking with electricity specifically. The project is funded by the ETC’s Rapid Response Facility. CCG plays a coordination role in this SIG but does not contribute research expertise.
Achievements: We held the Kenya National electric Cooking Study (KNeCS) Stakeholder Workshop in June 2023
Current Activities: Some SIG members have been interfacing with other SIGs to see how cooking can be incorporated into the whole energy system model (National Planning SIG) and be taken into account at the county level (County Level Planning SIG).
SIG members: Modern Electric Cooking Services, Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, French Development Agency, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), Nuvoni Centre for Innovation Research, Strathmore University, and EED Advisory
