Data and knowledge play a crucial role in the energy sector by providing valuable insights and evidence for informed decision making. They enable stakeholders to understand the current energy landscape, identify gaps and challenges, and formulate effective strategies to drive action and progress towards SDG7 (Sustainable Development Goal 7) on affordable and clean energy.
By utilizing data-driven approaches, policymakers, organizations, and communities can make evidence-based decisions, allocate resources efficiently, and implement targeted interventions that accelerate the transition to sustainable energy systems and ensure universal access to reliable, affordable, and modern energy services.
Clean Cooking Data Initiative (CCDI)
CCDI seeks to establish a platform that will be a hub for clean cooking data and insights globally, providing stakeholders with information on how specific cooking solutions are used by households in different contexts. This will help governments, their development partners and the private sector establish projects that are better-tailored to local needs and contexts.
By piloting the CCDI in Rwanda, SEforALL and its partners are collecting data on the uptake of electric cooking solutions to gauge the potential of e-cooking for widespread rollout across the country versus other cooking fuels and technologies.
Clean Cooking and Integrated Energy Planning
Currently we are leveraging the IEP approach to seamlessly integrate clean cooking into planning and policy development. Through this, we aim to generate comprehensive data on the socioeconomic co-benefits of the clean cooking transition, encompassing the revolutionary concept of eCooking.
