Clean cooking remains one of Africa’s most pressing energy access challenges, with hundreds of millions of households still relying on traditional, polluting cooking methods. The A.C.C.T© Forum brings together governments, financiers, innovators and development partners to address this gap directly, starting at the sidelines of the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, USA.
The A.C.C.T© Forum provides a platform for governments, industry, financiers, development partners and other stakeholders to advance Africa’s transition to clean cooking. Africa’s traditional energy market is estimated at $101.75 billion in 2026, according to Mordor Intelligence, showing the scale of the market and the opportunity to expand cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions.
The A.C.C.T© Forum aims to build an African-owned economic platform where clean cooking drives women’s enterprise, energy access, digital innovation, climate finance, investment, circular economy, local employment, forest protection, mangrove restoration and sustainable development.
The UNGA 81 side event is the Pre-Launch of the African Clean Cooking Transition (A.C.C.T©) Forum, ahead of its full launch at the G-SEL Conference in Westminster, London, from 15 to 17 December 2026. It is a high-level gathering that puts Africa’s clean cooking transition in African hands, bringing together key stakeholders to showcase African-led solutions, innovation and investment.
This program is designed to support individuals and families in underserved communities who face challenges related to education, health, livelihoods, and access to basic resources.
