INTRODUCTION

More  than  85  %  of  the  population  in  Tanzania  approximately  48  million  people  lack  access  to  clean cooking solutions, costing trillions of shillings a year in damage to health, the climate, and local economies.

Changing the way families cook their food, by using clean energy and efficient appliances  will  help  reduce  deforestation,  drive  gender  equality,  reduce  poverty,  provide  enormous health benefits and slow climate change. Providing  clean  cooking  solutions  to  households,  institutions  and  SMEs  is  crucial  to  achieving  national energy targets, global climate and sustainable development goals.

Accelerating  progress  towards  inclusive  access,  large scale  adoption  and sustained use of  clean  cooking  solutions  in  Tanzania  need  to  be  a  top  political,  economic,  and  environmental  priority going  hand  in  hand  with  inclusive  policies  and  programmes.  The  process  requires  efforts,  collaboration and coordination to achieve the national sustainable energy for all (SE4ALL)targetof more than 75% of the population accessing clean cooking solutions in Tanzania by 2030.
