Mainstreaming clean cooking technologies in Kitui County policy frameworks
GROOTS Kenya with support from SNV in 2016, implemented the Voices for Change Programme that aimed at strengthening the capacities of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to advocate for an enabling environment in Renewable Energy. GROOTS Kenya helped relevant County Governments to mainstream clean cooking in County policy frameworks and steered advocacy for increased budget allocation for the implementation of clean cooking programs.
Throughout the duration of the project, Clean cooking champions from 40 wards in Kitui were identified to lobby policymakers to achieve the project goal. Additionally, the champions are also taking the lead in advocating for the adoption of clean cooking technologies among fellow community members either by constructing clean cook stoves for them or by linking them to other institutions that could facilitate the construction or purchase of clean cookstoves.
