SYNOPSIS
The West Africa Clean Cooking Fund helps transform practices in a region where more than 267 million people are still dependent upon traditional biomass fuels for cooking causing significant health issues, especially for women, and environmental challenges with deforestation and increased greenhouse gas emissions.
The Fund will be accelerated by a US$1 million commitment from The Worthington Companies Foundation and contributions from other organizations to help advance qualified projects that create the infrastructure, equipment and training needed for sustainable adoption of clean and safe cooking with liquid propane gas (LPG).
Non-government organizations (NGOs) equipped to manage and implement projects, as well as impact-minded organizations interested in participating in The West Africa Clean Cooking Fund, should express interest.
