RWANDA: GOVERNMENT AIMS TO HALVE DEPENDENCE ON
WOOD FOR COOKING Representatives from the government of Rwanda, the World Bank and the private sector set the scene for Rwanda, a developing country in East Africa. According to government data, more than half of all households still use traditional cookstoves while only 13 percent use efficient systems – but the government aims to halve dependence on wood for cooking by 2024. The government also plans for at least 80 percent of the rural population
to phase out open fires by accessing modern, efficient or alternative cleaner fuels and cookstove technologies, and to ensure that at least 50 percent of the urban population use modern efficient cookstoves or cleaner cooking fuels, such as pellets, briquettes, green charcoal or electricity. The World Bank is the main sponsor of the Rwanda Energy Access and Quality Improvement Project running from 2020-2026, which includes a co- financed clean cooking project worth US$20 million, as well as US$3 million in technical assistance to foster an enabling environment.
