Conference Details

Considering the wide impact of the use of solid biomass energy for cooking, the transition to an increase in clean cooking practices will have a real and immediate impact on the overall quality of life of Tanzanians. The adoption of clean cooking practices is in line with the National Energy Policy (NEP) 2015 statement: enhancing fuel switching from wood fuel to modern energy, and facilitating the adoption of appropriate cooking appliances to promote alternatives to wood fuel. The transition is also in line with Sustainable Development Goal number 7 (SDG7), as well as Tanzania’s SE4All Action Agenda (2015). In addition to the environmental effects, the continued use of biomass as cooking energy is harmful to human health as it leads to acute respiratory diseases and premature deaths. Nearly 33,024 people die prematurely annually in Tanzania from illnesses that are attributable to indoor air pollution. Women and children are the most affected groups as they spend many hours a day in the kitchen exposed to the high levels of air pollutants. 

Key Conference Objectives

The Clean Cooking Conference will focus on addressing the barriers, and increasing the penetration of modern cooking solutions and energies. The Conference aims to investigate and suggest strategies towards achieving affordable, clean and reliable cooking solutions.
