Women in Clean Cooking Mentorship Program

GWNET in collaboration with the Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA) and Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) is excited to launch the fourth cohort of a mentorship program specifically targeting women in the clean cooking sector in Africa, Asia, and Haiti. Following the success of our 2021, 2022, and 2023 cohort we are thrilled to continue supporting and uplifting women in the clean cooking sector. In 2025, the “Women in Clean Cooking” (WICC) mentorship program will support women in the clean cooking sector, offering benefits that include:

  • Gaining experience from seasoned professionals in the energy sector;
  • Obtaining career-enhancing activities to support concrete goals;
  • Enhancing professional and personal development;
  • Fostering strategic thinking and innovative ideas.

 

Access to clean cooking stoves and fuel not only saves lives but also empowers women by protecting their health, freeing up their time, and saving money. Despite the potential for women to drive progress in the clean cooking sector, they remain underutilised in achieving policy implementation and market growth. The mentorship programme provided participants with career-advancing activities, concrete goals, and opportunities for networking and knowledge-sharing over the course of a year. Key components included bilateral interactions with senior mentors, knowledge-transfer webinars, and an online storytelling series that showcased the experiences of women in clean cooking.
