Increasing access to clean cooking in Rwanda
Summary
The document highlights Rwanda's approach to expanding clean cooking access amidst a regional trend in Sub-Saharan Africa where the number of people without such access has increased by 275 million. It notes that 860 million people in the region, or approximately 70 percent of Africa's population, lack clean cooking, which negatively impacts health, productivity, and gender equality. Furthermore, it reports a decline in clean cooking finance from USD 32 million in 2013-14 to USD 30 million in 2015-16, far below the USD 4.4 billion annual investment required by 2030.
