The Tanzania Clean Cooking Programme
The Tanzania Clean Cooking Program (TCCP) is a US$ 3.75 million, three-year program that aims to transform the clean cooking sector and enable access to clean cooking to more than 300,000 rural and marginalized households in Tanzania. The program aims to address the two-fold challenge of supply and demand through innovative mechanisms that de-risk private sector investments through supply-side grants and make clean cooking solutions more affordable through demand-side grants.

The program will deploy a direct matching grant financing facility coupled with technical assistance as a means of incentivizing and de-risking the private sector to venture into these markets and expect that by the end of the program period, the target markets will have opened and be able to crowd in other private sector actors.

The key objectives of the program are:
  • Catalyze the private sector participation in clean cooking solutions in underserved markets
  • Accelerate the uptake of clean cooking solutions through innovative financing mechanisms
  • Strengthen the clean cooking sector coordination and advocate for a conducive policy environment for a market-led clean cooking sector.
