Ensuring universal access to affordable, reliable, and modern energy cooking services (MECS) is a critical development objective from a health, environment, climate, and gender equality perspective. This session will make the case for clean cooking and introduce you to the concept of MECS and the Multi-Tier Framework.

There are several key demand- and supply-side barriers that stand in the way of greater progress on the clean cooking agenda. This session will explore the entrepreneurial journey in the clean cooking sector, reflecting on both challenges and successes.

Financing remains a critical challenge in the clean cooking sector, and historical investment levels have not been commensurate with needs. This session will investigate the level of investment needed to achieve universal access to MECS and explore key innovations when it comes to financing.

Looking ahead, there are several systems-level priority areas that will move the needle on clean cooking access. This session will explore these sector-wide, systems-level recommendations, while also examining the role of policy in accelerating access to MECS.
