Organised by
Clean Cooking Alliance
The Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA) works with a global network of partners to build an inclusive industry that makes clean cooking accessible to the three billion people who live each day without it. Established in 2010, CCA is driving consumer demand, mobilizing investment to build a pipeline of scalable businesses, and fostering an enabling environment that allows the sector to thrive. Clean cooking transforms lives by improving health, protecting the climate and environment, empowering women, and helping consumers save time and money.
The Cooking Industry Catalyst (CIC) is the CCA’s global industry development program designed to demonstrate that financial returns and impact can be achieved through technological and business model innovation for clean cooking solutions. Through the development of a pipeline of investment-ready businesses, a conducive enabling environment, and robust consumer demand, the CIC aims to provide evidence that these impacts and financial returns can be achieved at scale. The CIC works in close complement with Spark+ Africa Fund, a $50-70 million debt and equity fund being developed by the Alliance and an impact fund manager to finance clean cooking ecosystem companies in sub-Saharan Africa.
