Introduction The Federal Ministry of Environment in partnership with the Nigerian Alliance for Clean Cookstoves organized a one-day Clean Cooking Forum on November 28 2016 to chart a way forward for repositioning Nigeria's access to modern and clean cooking solutions. The forum brought together over 200 participants including key policymakers, private sector leaders, development partners and civil society stakeholders to reposition Nigeria’s strategy for clean cooking – achieving clean cooking energy for all Nigerians. The Forum was an important moment for stakeholders to take stock and plan ahead to achieve clean cooking energy for all. It brought together the leadership of the Nigerian Senate, members of the House of Representatives, ministers and heads of national agencies, key private sector energy producers, development partners and civil society.

Background Nigerians voted in a new government on the promise of change. Expansion of access to modern energy services and security are central elements in President Mohammadu Buhari Administration's reform agenda. Clean cooking, a priority area in energy access is central in achieving the goals of Nigeria’s Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) and Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative in Nigeria.

Today Nigerians suffer a silent energy crisis. Seven in ten households in Nigeria use firewood for cooking. Smoke from the traditional use of firewood is estimated to cause 95,000 deaths annually. After malaria and HIV/Aids, this is Nigeria's third highest killer most of who are women and children.

The conveners believe that clean cooking energy for all is not only possible but a right for all Nigerians. The country is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of cooking gas or LPG. Efficient use of biomass for rural households as well as market expansion for new and renewable liquid biofuels are gaining momentum. The time has therefore come to bring change to the Nigerian kitchen.

This report contains a summary of presentations and session outcomes of the Nigeria Clean Cooking Energy Forum 2016.

Summary of proceedings

Welcome Address by Christine K, Country Director, Heinrich Boell Stiftung & Chairperson, Steering Committee of the Nigerian Alliance for Clean Cookstoves

Christine welcomed participants to the forum. She applauded the partnership between the Federal Ministry of Environment and the Nigerian Alliance for Clean Cookstoves in bringing key stakeholders around the table to discuss steps towards clean cooking energy for all Nigerians. According to Christine, we must quickly move from prescription to action. She informed the forum that the Nigerian Alliance is developing a costed roll-out plan for creating clean cooking energy entrepreneurship and jobs, as well as supporting Nigeria in meeting its Paris climate change commitments. According to her, “we can test out this model of clean cooking energy

entrepreneurship in support of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the Northeast. Typical camps for IDPs are characterized by lack of opportunities for employment and meaningful livelihood. This can contribute to youth restiveness and tension. Adopting alternative fuels and clean energy technologies can create jobs for IDPS, especially women and youths”, she said. Christine expressed her hope that the Forum would help strengthen this plan and action.

Opening Remarks by Amina J. Mohammed, Honourable Minister, Federal Ministry of Environment In her opening remarks, the Honourable Minister for Environment thanked the Nigerian Alliance for Clean Cook Stoves for co-organising the Forum with her Ministry. She said that the Forum was conceived as a result of the need to expand access to clean cooking energy in the country. She noted that climate change presents a growing challenge to both men and women. Its negative effects are likely to hit the poorest people in the rural parts of Nigeria which women constitute a major part of. She noted that “Over dependence on fuelwood for cooking also has negative impact on our forest, as well as causes death of our women and children due to health hazards, and in addition

worsening the impact of climate change”. The Honourable Minister further stated that IDPs and refugees often suffer the worst form of energy poverty in Nigeria. In order to facilitate the displaced communities’, return home or to settle down where they wish to, providing access to energy will be a key element among the range of enabling measures to be taken. She informed participants that clean cooking is one of the priority projects that will help Nigeria meet its Intended

Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs). She called for enhanced collaboration and partnership among relevant agencies and stakeholders in achieving our INDCs. The Honourable Minister further noted the importance of cleaner ways of cooking in institutions like Schools, Camps, Hospitals, Prisons, etc. and echoed the need for more awareness and sensitization on clean cooking in rural areas. She concluded by stating that it is time to take action and provide a clear strategy for expanding access to clean cooking in the country, and wished all participants fruitful deliberations.

Keynote Address HE Senator Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, President of the Senate The President of the Senate, represented by Senator Philip Aduda, Senate Minority Whip in his keynote address noted that women and girls face a lot of risk fetching and using fuelwood. This has negative impact on their health, psychology and emotion. Using clean cookstoves will create jobs to combat our challenge of unemployment, improved health and serene our environment, he said. He disclosed how passionate he has been in advocating for cleaner forms of cooking for Nigerians since his appointment into the Leadership Council of the global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves in 2012. According to the Senate President, three things should be done to ensure fast adoption of cleaner fuels and stoves in the country, and these are: (1) support through relevant legislation to enhance demand, strengthen supply and create an enabling environment; (2) working together to address key barriers such as affordability, quality of cook stoves, consumer education, access to finance, policy regulation and sustainable supply of clean cooking fuel; and (3) the need to build a solid system that

thrives on partnerships within and outside the country to enable the free flow of resources and innovation into the sector. He assured the Forum of the willingness and readiness of the National Assembly to support and pass laws that will promote clean cooking in the country. In this connection, he said the 8th Senate will create laws and influence policies that will support strong value chains for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), efficient stoves, and other cooking fuels & instruments in line with the “Made in Nigeria” campaign. According to Senator Saraki, “the 8th Senate also commits to provide budgetary allocations to the clean cookstoves sector in Nigeria in the 2017 budget”. He also further appealed for more funding from the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves to support clean cookstoves SMEs and establish a Nigerian Council just like the China and India Councils of the Global Alliance. He concluded his address by congratulating FME and NACC for their unique partnership in hosting the Forum and encouraged all stakeholders to keep working together so that we can collectively achieve great success.

Special remark by Dr Emmanuel Ibe Kachukwu, Honourable Minister of State for

Petroleum Resources

Speaking on behalf of the Minister of State for Petroleum, Ms. Brenda Ataga, the Minister’s Special Adviser on Petroleum Downstream remarked that despite the fact that Nigeria is the second largest producer of LPG after Algeria, she still cannot provide it for her domestic use. She noted that the challenge of supply, demand and regulations in terms of policy formulations needs urgent solution. The statement further noted that the ministry is puzzled with a question of what to do to make LPG available for all Nigerians and as a substitute to biomass fuel even if it is acknowledged as viable, clean burning and with low carbon emissions, etc. The Ministry will appreciate if this forum could brainstorm and proffer solutions to these puzzling questions. She stated that “in furtherance of the government’s efforts to promote clean cooking, the administration is working on a national gas policy to enhance quick adoption of LPG as a choice fuel for cooking in the country”. In concluding the Honourable Minister’s remarks, she noted the willingness of her ministry to partner and collaborate with other federal government agencies, NGOs, and international organizations to help see that fuel wood usage is a thing of the past in Nigeria.

Panel Discussions

Opening Session: Repositioning Nigeria’s Strategy on Clean Cooking

This session started with a screening of a short documentary showcasing current situation in the clean cookstoves market in the country and how we can drive rapid uptake. This was followed with a panel discussion by key officials of the government, the private sector and international agency on

how to reposition Nigeria’s strategy on clean cooking - to achieve clean cooking energy for all Nigerians. Panelist: Gloria Ume-Ezeoke, Anchor, Channels Television (Moderator)

Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Chairman, Senate Committee on Environment and Climate Change Honourable Sadiq Ibrahim representing Chairman, House Committee on Environment Paul Arkwright, High Commissioner, British High Commission Ugo Weli representing Managing Director, Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Dr. Roseline Kela representing Director General, Energy Commission of Nigeria

Major highlights

According to Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the issue of cooking in an open fire is alarming and causes different health issues especially for women and children. In and outside the Senate, she has been advocating for the use of efficient and cleaner cooking stoves and fuels. She affirmed that legislators are ready to influence policy and laws to curb the menace of cooking with open fire.

Hon. Sadiq Ibrahim of the House of Representatives said that in his home state (Adamawa), the rate of deforestation has increased as a vast majority depends on fuelwood for cooking. Some of the population’s livelihoods depend on trading in fuelwood, and fish smokers also rely wholly on fuelwood to smoke their fish. He urged the forum to discuss alternative sources of livelihood for those that depend on fuelwood.

The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Paul Arkwright commended the Nigerian Alliance for Clean Cookstoves and the Federal Ministry of Environment for the good initiative. He emphasized the need to find appropriate solutions that works for Nigerians in

terms of affordability, financing and so on. Mr Arkwright pledged the readiness of the High Commission to support and partner with relevant agencies and organisations to tackle this issue of forest degradation and deforestation in Nigeria, communicate with communities, educate the young, and to provide support at relevant stages of implementation.

Igo Weli, General Manager External Relations, told the Forum that Shell continues to take the issue of clean cooking seriously. It is partnering with the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves in ensuring that cleaner and safer fuels are available in the country. He emphasized the need for a strong collaboration with the federal government and its legislative arm to deliver clean cooking energy in Nigeria.

Dr. Roseline Kela stated that Energy Commission of Nigeria has been creating awareness on the use and benefits of clean cookstoves to discourage the use of fuelwood for cooking. The commission has trained rural women and youth on the production of clean cookstoves as well as demonstrated its use. She noted with pleasure that the commission is partnering with the Nigerian Alliance for Clean Cookstoves and other organisations to implement clean cookstoves projects in Nigeria.

Session 1: Clean Cooking for All in Nigeria – Taking Stock In this session, the Federal Ministry of Environment, industry representatives and the Nigerian & Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves took stock of progress made so far in achieving the goal of clean cooking energy for all, the challenges and prospects.

Panelist: David Martin, General Manager, Production, Shell Petroleum Development Corporation (Moderator) Dr. Peter Tarfa, Director, Department of Climate Change, Federal Ministry of Environment Onuvae Precious, Market Manager, Nigerian Alliance for Clean Cookstoves Dayo Adesina, President, Nigeria Liquefied Petroleum Gas Association (NLPGA) Mrs Nkechi Obi, MON, Executive Vice Chairman, Techno Oil Limited Arijit Basu, Regional Director, Market Development (Sub-Saharan Africa & South Asia), Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves

Major Highlights

Dr Peter Tarfa in his presentation said Nigeria consumes over 50 million metric tonnes of fuel wood annually, a rate which exceeds the replenishment rates. He further noted that:

- Extraction of fuel wood is a major cause of desertification in the arid zone States and erosion in the southern parts of the country. The rate of deforestation is about 350,000 hectares per year, which is equivalent to 3.6% of the present area

Page 8: A Report of Nigeria Clean Cooking Forum 2016nigerialpgas.com/downloads/272743.pdf · 2016. 12. 26. · 6 Panel Discussions Opening Session: Repositioning Nigeria’s Strategy on Clean

of forests and woodlands, whereas reforestation is only at about 10% of the deforestation rate.

- He noted that support to access expansion for clean cooking energy is one of the initiatives of the Federal Ministry of Environment aimed towards reduction of black carbon emission from burning solid fuel (wood) and; fossil fuel for various household energy uses in Nigeria.

- He however highlighted the challenges to fast adoption including: inadequate awareness; lack of a national strategy, policy and regulatory framework for clean cooking; ensuring availability due to unstable supply and inadequate distribution network; affordability and sustainability of products; low level of technological development and human resources; and issues of safety with respect to LPG.

- He concluded his presentation by recommending the way forward, which includes: Need for a special Federal Government interventions for a National Clean Cooking Programme – Annual budgetary allocation, set a target for annual deployment of cookstoves, plantation for renewable feedstock for improved cookstoves, etc; Harnessing the power of Partnership; Enhancing National Awareness Campaigns and ensuring acceptability, availability, accessibility and affordability of clean cookstoves; and need to establish more Skills Acquisition Centres across the country to train manpower on production and assembly of efficient stoves, among others.

Mrs Nkechi Obi in her presentation noted that Techno Oil has launched a Cooksafe Initiative with primary concern on women’s empowerment and socio-economic growth of the poor. The initiative will save lives, improve health, empower women and preserve the environment. She estimated that LPG penetration in urban households in Nigeria is close to 25% while in rural household it is 2%. She reiterated the health hazards posed by kerosene and cooking with open fire. She further noted that:

- The barriers to adoption of LPG are acceptability, affordability, accessibility and availability; the solutions include the need for a national awareness campaign, free entry cost, adequate supply channels and terminals, and need to have a gas refill plant in all LGAs as these will help in job creation, reduce deforestation and promote the economy.

- She highlighted her organisation’s contribution to adoption of LPG in Nigeria to include: Distribution of 50,000 gas stoves to market women and indigent households; construction of 20 units of 10MT LPG plants in Techno Oils’ retail outlets; construction of an Ultra-modern LPG Bottling Plant; construction of a multi-billion naira investment in a 5Million annual capacity Cylinder Manufacturing Plant; Construction of 12,000MT LPG Terminal; procurement of 25 units of LPG skids; and organizing outreaches in various markets to enlighten women about the danger of cooking with firewood and other biomass fuels among others.

- She ended her presentation by emphasizing the need for strong collaboration among global agencies/foundations, corporate organizations, as well as affluent and philanthropic individualsto ensure a safe and cleaner Nigeria.

Precious Onuvae told the Forum that NACC was established to save lives, empower women, improve livelihood and combat climate change by increasing the use of efficient and

clean cooking solution in Nigerian homes and institutions. The achievement of NACC over the past four years in the following:

- Putting the issue of clean cooking on the national agenda. By building a partnership that brings together important policy making and implementation agencies of the federal government, key private sector companies, international agencies and NGOs, NACC has placed the challenges of clean cooking within the policy radar.

- NACC has established two stoves training and testing centres to ensure the delivery of quality and standardized stoves in the Nigerian market.

- The partnership is working with Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) through a National Mirror Committee on Clean Cookstoves and Fuel Standards. The leadership of SON, committee has produced a draft interim benchmark for Biomass Cookstoves in Nigeria.

- With support from NACC, Nigeria has witnessed increased domestic production of clean cooking energy solutions – creating new jobs and strengthening entrepreneurship.

- Together with ICEED, NACC is championing the provision of Safe Access to Fuels and Energy for IDPs in the Northeast. Today, UNHCR and NEMA are beginning to develop projects to provide life-saving clean energy solutions for these communities.

- Despite achievements of the past few years, the momentum is slow and several challenges still remain. These include: inadequate policy framework to enhance fast adoption of clean cooking in Nigeria; high interest rates, leading to higher cost of production which affects the final price to the consumer; and poor awareness of clean cooking solutions in the country.

- In ending her presentation, she told the Forum that NACC is working on a costed rollout plan that includes the establishment of single digit interest rate facility to strengthen local production of clean cookstoves; setting up technical training facility for local production of biomass cookstoves in each geo-political zone; establishment of gas refilling plants in all senatorial districts; embarking on a national behavior change campaign through radio and TV; and incentivising clean cooking in government-owned facilities like the prisons, government boarding secondary schools, IDP camps etc.

Arijit Basu in his presentation highlighted investments of Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves (GACC) in Nigeria including future investments and challenges encountered. Some key points include:

- Major challenges with cookstoves programmes in Nigeria are: They operate on a local scale only, without broad distribution channels; target specific areas or communities in particular states only, and rely on a limited number of sales points or agents; no clear standards; poor attitude toward changes; problem of adoption are related to cost, availability, safety and cultural patterns, etc.

- On how the markets are shaping in other developing countries where GACC operates, he stated that in Kenya there is VAT exemption on clean cookstoves; they have commissioned a scoping mission in Kenya and Ghana on Standards and Labeling for cookstoves project; working with Tata Trust in India on accessing CSR funds for clean cooking from corporate; and created a Private Sector Advisory Council in India with reputable Corporate, etc.

- He highlighted Global Alliance activities and investments in Nigeria to include: Katsina Project –Counterpart funding totaling $500,000 for 4 years to ICEED, $490k for Child Survival Study -focuses on impact of switching to ethanol on birth outcomes, $130k on testing centers in Afikpo and University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Spark Fund grant @ $497,500 for SME Funds - for scaling up ethanol and ethanol gel production, $45,000 PIF grant to Solar Sister - introduce clean cookstoves into their range of products, WEF grant @ $ 75,000 was given to Envirofit to develop women entrepreneurs for clean cookstoves in Akwa Ibom and Rivers state, and newly approved $1.5 Million for McCann/Africare to develop a market shaping strategy/communications campaign to bolster LPG cookstove demand in two states in Nigeria.

- Finally, he proposed a way forward: Standards should be set by SON in conjunction with relevant bodies; need for “Financial Inclusions” that would enable increased adoption of clean cooking solutions; reduction of import duty of ICS; and the creation of a Nigeria Private sector “Advisory Council” like it is in China and India among others.

Dayo Adeshina, President of the Nigerian LPG Association, highlighted the need to tackle the challenges of affordability, availability, accessibility and acceptability in rolling out LPG on a mass scale. He stated that the goal of his association is to get 56 million homes converted to LPG mode of cooking in the next few years.

Session 2: Energy access and the humanitarian situation in the Northeast This session analyzed the status of the humanitarian situation in the Northeast; discussed the basic framework for meeting the energy needs of the IDPs in the Northeast; international response measures available and what lessons we can learn as well as a Nigeria Case Study on Adamawa State implemented by ICEED.

Panelist: Ofi Ejembi, Presenter, Nigeria Info (Moderator) Dr. Kayode Fagbemi representing Director General, National Emergency Management

Agency Folake Salawu, International Centre for Energy, Environment and

Development Major highlights

Folake Salawu presented the success story of a pilot Safe Access to Fuel and Energy (SAFE) implemented by ICEED with funding from Australian Aid outside the official Malkohi IDP camp II in Adamawa State where there has never been any humanitarian provision of fuel-efficient stoves. Key points from her presentation are:

- A baseline survey conducted before the intervention shows that all the households in the camp use firewood for cooking on traditional three-stone stoves, while about 12% occasionally mix firewood usage with charcoal and kerosene stoves; almost all the households in the camp source firewood from host community farmlands and forest reserves, while few buy from vendors; most of the cooks in households reported respiratory diseases, about 75% respondents blame smoke from the kitchen as the main culprit.

- She stated that the project has trained 100 IDPs in the camp on production, dissemination and sales of ceramics based efficient woodstoves; the trained entrepreneurs have produced and sold over 1,000 stoves thereby increasing their cash flow; about 500 households in the camp have adopted efficient and clean cookstoves which has led to very significant reduction in drudgery and incidences of respiratory diseases; at least 5,000 IDPs and host community members have received information on SAFE. This has led to commitments to scale up this project both in Adamawa and beyond.

Deputy Director in charge of Planning, Research and Forecasting, Dr Kayode Fagbemi

speaking on half of Mr. Mohammed Sidi, the Director General of the National Emergency

Management Agency gave a brief update on the humanitarian outlook in the North East. He

noted that ccompetition over dwindling land and water resources in the Lake Chad Basin

Area which have been exacerbated by climate change are some of the drivers of the crisis in

the North-East. This has resulted in the IDP crisis. Biomass in form of firewood has

remained the main energy source for cooking, heating and quite often lighting in both IDP

camps and amongst host communities, and the IDP population stood at 1,822,541 as at

October 2016.

He also observed the following:

- The Borno State Government spends an average of N800,000.00 monthly in each of its 16 IDP camps located in Maiduguri metropolis alone for central cooking of food to the IDP population. The scenario is the same for Adamawa and Yobe states which are at the peak of displacement. The felling of trees for firewood and construction of temporary shelter has significantly increased in all IDP reception communities. It has become necessary to promote the use of clean energy sources for cooking in the entire North-East region and Nigeria has an obligation to protect the environment.

- He proffered the way forward to include the need for alternative livelihood options, including drip irrigation and dry season farming to checkmate the cutting of firewood as biofuel and as a means of income generation; the need to support the three North-Eastern states hosting IDP population with clean energy options for cooking and heating; and support all IDPs returnees with clean energy stoves for cooking.

Session 3a: Setting the agenda for LPG market transformation Only about 5% of Nigerian households use LPG for cooking. Another 25% have access to kerosene. Meanwhile, Nigeria exports over four million tons of LPG. Yet the country consumes less than 10% of its local production. The time to switch from kerosene to LPG has come. This panel brought together important actors in the LPG market including investors to discuss how to drive quick adoption of LPG in the country.

Conclusion from discussions

Government should support the growth of LPG market in the following ways:

- Provision of cylinders to all homes in Nigeria

- Fiscal incentives like import tariff, tax reduction, etc.

- Awareness creation

- Discourage the use of kerosene and traditional methods of cooking

Political leaders should change their mind set and attitude so they could serve as role model to the communities.

The government to provide low interest facility for investors in the LPG value chain

Session 3b: A path to clean cooking for Nigeria's poorest The poorest segment of the cooking energy market in Nigeria constitutes about 70% of all households. These families, most of them in rural and semi-urban areas are stuck with the traditional use firewood. The time for a transition to cleaner and more cost-effective cooking energy has come. Market expansion for efficient wood and charcoal stoves, biofuels and LPG presents good opportunities. However, there are no strategies in place to address the clean cooking energy needs of the poorest households. This panel discussed how to create a path to progress in addressing the cooking energy poverty of the poorest in the country. Panelists: Alex Abutu, AfricaSTI.com (Moderator)

Musa Raymond, Managing Director, Musa Raymond Nig. Co. Ltd Joe Obueh, Country Representative, Project Gaia Bamikole Olaoluwa, Managing Director, Zenith Agroethanol Nigeria Ltd Cosmas Anyanwu, Senior Research Fellow, NCERD, University of Nigeria, Nsukka Happy Amos, Managing Director, Roshan Global Services Ltd

After the deliberations, the panel came up with two major conclusions highlighted below:

There is need for more sensitization/awareness creation on efficient and clean cookstoves. Media outlets such as electronic media (TV, Radio, etc), print media (pamphlets, newspaper, billboards, etc) and social media (facebook, twitter, etc) should be deployed to change people’s orientation especially at the grassroots.

Government should remove the duty on the parts used in manufacturing stoves so that they can be more affordable.

Session 4: Demand-side actions for clean cooking energy solutions The demand for efficient and clean cookstoves is still very low in Nigeria. Heads of households often do not know the value proposition that cleaner cooking solutions bring. The inability to pay the upfront cost of new cooking solutions reduces the demand for clean cooking energy among poor households. This session brought together experienced behaviour change practitioners, financial and technology specialists to address the issue of behaviour change and product affordability.

Panelists: Charles Usie, Country Director, Christian Aid (Moderator) Honourable Sam Onuigbo, Chairman, House Committee on Climate Change, House of Representatives Segun Adaju representing Managing Director, Mark-George Financial Consultants Dr. Orode Doherty, Country Director, Africare Arijit Basu, Regional Director| Market Development (Sub-Saharan Africa & South Asia), Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves

Major highlights

Hon. Sam Onuigbo of the House of Representatives was of the view that demand for clean cookstoves is low because higher percentage of the people are not aware about the benefits. Government should take deliberate and verifiable action to drive rapid uptake of efficient and clean cookstoves, just like mobile phones/telecommunication, HIV/Aids etc. He advised on the need to work with the National Orientation Agency (NOA) to carry out behavior change campaign.

Orode Doherty, who is experienced in behavioural change initiatives, emphasized that we need to understand “where the shoe hurts” for the people we are trying to influence. We need to bring practical solutions to the people as well as maximize the use of media. She stated that all government owned institutions should start using clean cookstoves. LPG should be a fuel of choice in everywhere government money goes into, e.g hospitals, government houses, IDP camps. According to her, “the issue of affordability is often in our mind”, she remarked.

Arijit Basu observed that the use of clean cookstoves is not at all aspirational – it’s a push product. As a result we should put in more efforts to make the product aspirational and affordable.

Segun Adaju noted that to drive a rapid transition to clean cookstoves, we should have different alternatives and types of stoves and teach the consumers how to use them. He noted that as a matter of urgency, creating awareness is the fastest way to tackle the issue.

Closing Remarks/Vote of Thanks by Ibrahim Usman Jibril, Honourable Minister of State, Federal Ministry of Environment

In his closing remarks, the Honourable Minister of State for Environment stated that “the huge participation shows the importance of the forum”. We all should work on managing our vast natural resources in a sustainable manner as we owe it a duty to our unborn generations. He noted that the forum is the beginning of greater things to come and promised that the Ministry will continue to support and partner with the Nigerian Alliance for Clean Cookstoves to actualize the resolutions of this great event.

Major highlights/Outcomes The forum agreed on the following outcomes/next steps:

The Senate to work with the Federal Ministry of Environment to ensure the provision of budgetary allocations for the clean cookstoves sector in Nigeria in the 2017 budget

Urgently launch a behavioural change and awareness campaign for clean and efficient cookstoves in the country. Government should lead the awareness creation using experiences from successful awareness campaigns such as in combating HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Ebola

Government to provide financial incentives and facilitate single digit interest rates facility for local production of cookstoves. Government should also remove the duty on the parts use in manufacturing stoves so it can be more affordable.

Government should take leadership in developing strategies, policies and legislations to support the production and adoption of clean cookstoves in the country just like mobile telephony/telecommunication, fighting HIV/Aids etc. Existing laws and regulations should also be reviewed.

Set up training centres or Skills Acquisition Centres to train human resources for production and assembly of the efficient stoves in each geopolitical zone and establish gas refill stations in all senatorial districts and LGAs.

There is need to promote the use of clean energy sources for cooking in the entire North-East region and Nigeria as a whole as well as support all IDPs and returnees with clean energy stoves for cooking.
