Sector Resources
An ongoing example of this work is CCA’s role in leading a sector-wide strategy development process. The Clean Cooking Systems Strategy is using a co-creative approach to foster collective action to deliver the systems-level change needed to achieve clean cooking transitions. CCA also hosts major convenings such as the biennial Clean Cooking Forum, the Clean Cooking Investment Forum, and other curated events to boost coordination, partnerships, and investment.
This area of work also includes the generation of market intelligence to address information asymmetries, targeted research and trainings, and tools for local and global investors to familiarize themselves with the nuances of the sector and the risk-return profiles of leading business models and technologies. Public goods may also include efforts to create stronger networks and linkages across various markets between stakeholder groups including, but not limited to entrepreneurs, investors, and clean cooking ecosystem builders (including industry associations and adjacent industry players).
