Clean Cooking Voluntary Infrastructure Investment Action Plan

This document is a Clean Cooking Voluntary Infrastructure Investment Action Plan developed under the G20 South Africa 2025 Presidency. It outlines practical actions for governments, industry, financiers, and civil society to advance clean cooking solutions in sub-Saharan Africa. The Action Plan identifies key interventions necessary to meet the rising demand for clean cooking fuels and equipment, covering all major clean cooking technologies. It builds on previous initiatives and aims to secure universal clean cooking access by 2030, aligning with the African Union's broader agenda on energy access and sustainability. The report highlights the significant challenges faced in sub-Saharan Africa, where approximately 1 billion people lack access to clean cooking, contributing to health, environmental, and economic issues. The document emphasizes the need for collaborative efforts and effective policies to enhance clean cooking access, particularly in urban areas, where recent improvements have been noted. It also acknowledges the contributions of various stakeholders in refining the vision and direction of this initiative.
