Tanzania's aspirations for a clean cooking energy transition have gained momentum as stakeholders are working towards overcoming policy and market challenges facing the cooking energy sector in Tanzania. This was discussed in the Clean Cooking Policy Dia- logue Workshop by CSOs with policy and decision-makers on 26 June 2024, at Edema Hotel, Morogoro, Tanzania, debating how to develop the cooking subsector in Tanzania and increase the population accessing clean cooking solutions from less than 10 to80 percent by 2034. The workshop was organized by TaTEDO-SESO in collaboration with the Clean Cooking Alliance of Tanzania (CCAT) and Sustainable Energy Forum (SEF) with support from the World Wide Fund (WWF).

The workshop provided a platform for actively exchanging views, experiences, and new findings related to clean cooking. It featured various presentations, plenary discussions, and panel sessions, focusing on policy and strategic issues to enhance energy-related policies and the national clean cooking strategy
