ABS E4: The Largely Unspoken Truths About Clean Cooking
Manage episode 374242585 series 3502625
Did you know?
Over 3 billion people live without access to clean cooking facilities in the world today.
According to the IEA, sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 490,000 premature deaths per year linked to household air pollution from the lack of access to clean cooking facilities, with women and children being the worst affected. The unsustainable harvesting of fuelwood also contributes to deforestation.
Africa's Big Switch podcast has so far focused on rural electrification for its first season. However we believe that it is also important to spread awareness on the clean cooking challenges and opportunities in sub-Saharan Africa.
On this episode, we spoke to Ronan Ferguson from the Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA) who gave us an overview of the major challenges to achieving clean cooking and its impact on economic and social development in Africa.
