Over 4 billion people globally and almost 900 million people in Sub-Saharan African countries lack access to modern and clean cooking solutions. This is the only region in the world where access to clean cooking solutions has not kept pace with population growth.
The aim of the Nefco managed Modern Cooking Facility for Africa programme is to provide 3 million Africans with access to clean cooking solutions, initially in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The programme will also aim to have a large positive environmental impact, mitigating deforestation and avoiding CO2 emissions, as well as improving overall health and increasing economic growth in the project countries.
‘Nordic Talks’, a project under The Nordic Council of Ministers, is a series of talks and podcast episodes addressing the biggest global challenges with some of the brightest minds in the Nordics and their counterparts from around the world.
Speakers:
- Sophie Odupoy, Group Head of Public Affairs, KOKO Networks
- Mattias Frumerie, Chief Negotiator of Sweden
- Ash Sharma, Vice President, Nefco
- Moderator: André Jamholt, Nordic Council of Ministers
