Cooking with clean fuel is getting easier in many parts of Africa. A new report from the IEA says almost $740 million has already reached projects. The money comes from promises made at the first Clean Cooking Summit. It now supports work in nearly 30 African countries. Kenya received the biggest share.
Most of the money paid for cookstoves and gas cylinders for families. In 2024, nearly 12 million people got clean cooking for the first time. That number is about three times higher than in 2010. Since 2024, governments have also passed more than 120 new rules. The IEA believes progress will stay fast for the rest of the decade.
