Clean Cooking Accelerator

In partnership with CCA, MSV and Innohub Growth Centre designed the clean cooking accelerator for West African SMEs that manufacture or distribute clean cooking products and those within the adjacent energy access sectors who intend to incorporate clean cooking solutions into their product portfolio to apply. The accelerator will bridge knowledge, management, and technical gaps that hinder enterprises from participating in carbon markets and accessing carbon finance. The program will also enhance the visibility of these enterprises, fostering connections with carbon project developers, intermediaries, and carbon buyers.
