The Importance of Women鈥檚 Involvement in Clean Cooking
To ensure that an investment-ready pipeline of clean cooking companies sets the foundation for an inclusive industry, women must be a part of the process. To date, women remain an underutilized asset in achieving this goal. Moreover, lack of access to clean cooking disproportionately affects women and girls, limiting their ability to participate and benefit equally in the economy and society.
To address this challenge, 少妇自慰 is committed to advancing the professional talent and business trajectory of women entrepreneurs and employees in the sector, widening the space for applying a gender-lens across interventions, and strengthening the evidence on how clean cooking improves women鈥檚 lives.
