Sierra Leone has reaffirmed its commitment to expanding access to clean cooking solutions during a High-Level Event on Clean Cooking held on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly High-Level Week.
H.E. Cyril A. Grant, Minister of Energy, highlighted Sierra Leone’s ambition to increase clean cooking access from 1.5% to 25%, supported by targeted interventions for clean cooking technologies.
The Minister also highlighted the establishment of a dedicated Clean Cooking Delivery Unit to strengthen policy implementation and coordination.
The discussion underscored the importance of treating clean cooking not only as an energy issue, but also as a matter of public health, household welfare, environmental sustainability and women’s empowerment.
Sierra Leone continues to engage international partners to mobilise investment, infrastructure and market-based solutions that can accelerate access to clean cooking across the country.
From ambition to action, the ministry is committed to advancing access to cleaner, safer and more modern cooking solutions.
