The Access to Modern Energy Cooking Services: Players and Initiatives Database is part of the
knowledge
products
under the 2020
State
of Access to Modern Energy Cooking Services report, developed by the World
Bank’s
Energy Sector
Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), in close collaboration with Loughborough University on
Modern Energy Cooking
Services Program (funded by UK Aid of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office), and the
Clean
Cooking
Alliance. You can view the Executive Summary of the report
here.
The State of Access to Modern Energy Cooking Services is a product of
the
research
efforts implemented under the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) program, a five-year initiative
funded
by UK Aid
of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and led by Loughborough University and
the World
Bank’s
Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP). The MECS Program aims to accelerate the global
transition from
traditional biomass-based cooking to modern-energy cooking solutions. Following on the 2015 report,
The
State of the
Global Clean and Improved Cooking Sector, led by ESMAP and the Clean Cooking Alliance [formerly
Global
Alliance for
Clean Cookstoves], this second global report, also led by ESMAP, in collaboration with Loughborough
University and
the Clean Cooking Alliance, presents newly compiled evidence and insights to guide continued sector
progress
toward
achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target 7.1 for 2030.
As part of the research efforts to gain a deeper understanding of the supply-side ecosystem of the
cooking
sector,
this qualitative database takes stock of cooking players across the globe, as well as cooking
initiatives
taking
place at a national, regional, and global level. The players database builds from the Clean Cooking
Alliance's
Partner Directory (last accessed 18/08/2019), which includes self-reported information by industry
players.
The
initiatives database does not represent an exhaustive list of programs, but rather seeks to provide
a broad
sample
of stove and fuel initiatives spanning different geographies and technologies. Preference for
compilation
has been
given to initiatives active since 2015, when the previous State of the Modern Cooking Sector report
was
published.
