The conversation deepens as we grapple with energy, land use, and livelihoods.
#charcoal #EnergyTransition #EnergySecurity
Across panels and group discussions, several cross-cutting reflections emerged:
New technologies and market innovations mean we must rethink outdated assumptions.
Definitions matter: What do we mean byโฏclean,โฏmodern, orโฏsustainableโฏcharcoal?
When evidence is neutral, how is policy framed?
That's the question driving our conversations today on sustainable charcoal transitions.

Insights from our keynote speaker, Peter Thobora from the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, Kenya
#charcoal #EnergyTransition #EnergySecurity
Did you know? As much as 68.7% of Kenyan households could potentially adopt eCooking, an opportunity for clean energy transitions. Today, we're kicking off a critical conversation: co-creating a policy action agenda for sustainable charcoal transitions.
Stay tuned for outcomes.
Key points included the need for a common language and understanding among stakeholders, the importance of aligning innovation with local needs, and the role of grants and subsidies in supporting agtech startups.
๐ค Live Now: Our team presented key findings from the African Agritech Mapping Project. Did you know? Kenya is African leader in start-up funding in 2025 ~1bn USD funding volume; +52% versus 2024? Follow the conversation using #AgriTech
The pathway to scale is clear: structure + collaboration. @KENIAupdates
