The Ethiopian Clean Cooking Alliance (ECCA) is a multi-stakeholder platform that brings together government institutions, development partners, private sector companies, civil society organizations, and research institutions.
We work collectively to accelerate the adoption of clean cooking solutions across Ethiopia, addressing health, environmental, and economic challenges associated with traditional cooking practices.

Evidence-based research initiatives informing policy and technology development
“Working with ECCA has been instrumental in advancing Ethiopia’s national clean energy goals. Their ability to bring together stakeholders from government, private sector, and communities ensures that clean cooking is not just a project.”
“Through our partnership with ECCA, we’ve witnessed the dedication and work in ground -through promoting the clean cooking solutions and advocating to create an access for the underserved community.”
“ECCA has created a platform where businesses like ours can contribute to solving one of Ethiopia’s pressing challenges. With their support, we’ve been able to scale clean cooking technologies and reach households that need them most.”
Traditional cooking practices contribute to health risks, deforestation, and economic burdens. Clean cooking solutions improve public health, protect the environment, and create new economic opportunities.
Clean cooking refers to the use of fuels and technologies that produce lower emissions of harmful pollutants compared to traditional biomass cookstoves and open fires. It’s about transforming how families cook their food to protect health, preserve the environment, and empower communities.
ECCA works to accelerate the adoption of clean cooking solutions in Ethiopia by uniting government, private sector, civil society, and research institutions to address health, environmental, and economic challenges.
You can join the alliance as a member, partner on community programs, or support initiatives that promote access to clean and sustainable cooking solutions.
