dc.descriptionA.1.Purpose and general description of the PoA >> More than 250 million people in the horn of Africa use traditional fuels for cooking, and only a few nations have national clean cooking rates that are higher than 10. The issue is significantly worse in rural areas. Recent price increases in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are driving many households back to using polluting fuels like charcoal or other gathered traditional biomass to cook. This burden falls primarily on the women in the household, limiting their ability to pursue schooling, other work, and community involvement. There has been some progress, with two-thirds of Sudan's population using clean fuels by 2030, half in Kenya and one-third in Ethiopia[ https://www.iea.org/reports/clean-energy-transitions-in-the-greater-horn-of-africa/executive-summary]. The region's nations take a variety of regulatory and legislative positions regarding access to energy. There are national strategies including targets, laws, and policies governing both on- and off-grid connections in some countries, including Ethiopia (CRGE,NDCs, National Energy policy, National Electrification Program, national improved cook-stove programme, Energy efficient strategy) and Kenya (National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy, National Energy Policy),. In addition, their governments have managed to create enabling environments for the private sector to thrive and accelerate electricity access. Yet, the policy framework in the region is relatively enabling, with most countries tracking clean cooking access progress or integrating it into their national planning. The Ethiopia’s national policy framework intended to increase generating capacity by 25,000 MW (20GW) by 2030; 96 on-grids and 4 off-grids. National Electrification Program (2017): 100 electrification in 2025, with 35 off-grids and 65 grids, while extending the grid to reach 96 grid connections by 2030. The national improved cook-stove programmes as a solution for universal access are good illustrations. It is designed to contribute to the implementation of the government of Ethiopia’s improved cook-stoves distribution plan through building a sustainable and vibrant market for improved cook stoves and building institutional capacity at all levels. However, yet nationally 86% of the population is dependent on biomass fuels and the penetration rate of improved cook stove is less than 15%. ....en_US
