A new Talk Series, led by the MECS programme through its in-country partner Finovista and other stakeholders, focuses on different topics relating to transitioning to modern energy cooking services.
The seventh session in the series, held on 12 January 2022, focused on financing models needed to scale up modern energy cooking solutions through accelerated investment and market deployment. The clean cooking industry has been traditionally marred by the challenge of access to finance, though this is changing fast with the emergence of innovative financing models. Despite a strong commercial potential and promising & scalable business models, the industry is often assessed from a development aspect. Innovative financing models have the potential to transform this industry into a strong market opportunity with sustainable growth potential.
