In response to the pressing need for clean cooking interventions in urban informal settlements in Kampala, Uganda, ICLEI Africa and Energy 4 Impact – Mercy Corps have appointed a consortium led by Wana Solutions Uganda Limited and including Green Bio Energy Ltd. to implement these initiatives. A baseline study conducted by ENACT revealed that 92% of residents and microenterprises in Kisenyi, an informal settlement in Kampala, rely on charcoal for cooking, highlighting the urgency for change. The consortium aims to address barriers such as lack of awareness, affordability concerns, and safety issues associated with cleaner cooking alternatives.
