Energizing Finance: Clean Cooking in Bangladesh

This case study examines the clean cooking landscape in Bangladesh, highlighting the country's success in attracting finance despite significant gaps in access and the investment requirements needed to reach universal access by 2030.

• As of 2018, nearly 80 percent of Bangladesh's 35 million households lacked access to clean cooking alternatives in both urban and rural areas, although the market is considered conducive due to urbanization, rising incomes, and government support.
• Bangladesh was the primary beneficiary of the limited finance committed globally to clean cooking in 2018.
• The National Action Plan for Clean Cooking in Bangladesh (2020–2030) targets 100 percent clean cooking access by 2030, which is estimated to require a total investment of USD 2.9 billion over a 10-year period.
