Kenya joining the Clean Cooking Alliance is an important step for the sector. 🇰🇪 We look forward to working with partners to turn this momentum into greater investment, collaboration and clean cooking access ahead of the Africa Clean Cooking Summit in Nairobi. #CleanCooking
Kenya has formally joined the Clean Cooking Alliance (@cleancooking) following its integration into the @IEA as a new multilateral platform. We look forward to working with fellow members and partners to accelerate clean cooking access, and make the 2nd Africa Clean Cooking Summit in Nairobi, January 2027, a true moment of delivery.

Our final stop took us to Makueni’s water projects, where we saw how solar energy is powering essential services. 97% of the county’s water supply powered by solarised systems. We also saw progress in LPG cooking and the solarisation of the @WoteTti Institute.

NEW REPORT: A JUST TRANSITION FOR ADAPTATION. This morning, Power Shift Africa has launched a groundbreaking new report examining a just transition for #adaptation and a framework that will guide how the subject is understood: as a matter of justice, power, and equity, rather than as a primarily technical response to #climate risks. This report makes a powerful case, arguing that the floods, droughts, heatwaves, and other climate impacts devastating African and Global South communities should not be treated as inevitable “loss and damage.” Instead, the extreme weather events are also the visible cost of adaptation that was promised, remains delayed and continues to be chronically underfunded. Thinking about “just transition” from an adaptation perspective is a significant shift because traditionally, #justtransition has been associated with moving away from #fossilfuels

At the Makueni Dairy Farmers Cooperative Society, we saw how solar power can support farmers through lower energy costs, reliable milk cooling and reduced post-harvest losses. A practical example of how renewable energy can strengthen livelihoods and local economies #PowerUpKenya
