Policy Brief: Acceleration of sustainable growth through Innovation, Education and Awareness Raising
Achieving sustainable growth in Africa calls for integrated strategies that align climate action with economic development and energy access. With rising demand for clean energy and resilient infrastructure, the continent stands at a critical juncture where innovative business models, local production ecosystems, and targeted financial support can drive a low- carbon, inclusive transformation. Unlocking this potential will depend on the ability to tailor solutions to diverse regional contexts and audiences – whether through decentralised energy systems, mobility innovations, or sustainable agriculture. Public-private partnerships, supportive policy frameworks, and investment in skills and entrepreneurship will be central to building resilient economies.
PRACTICAL OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR CLEAN COOKING STOVES
The SESA project Smart Energy Solutions for Africa (SESA) project, funded by the Research & Innovation programme of the European Union is working to accelerate the uptake of clean cooking solutions by testing and scaling innovations in Africa. As part of this effort, this capacity-building manual has been developed to equip technicians, small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owners, and everyday users with practical knowledge and skills that go beyond “how-to” instructions – helping communities unlock the full potential of clean cooking technologies.
