AfroClimate, Madagascar Clean Cooking Initiative (MCCI), and INDRI have joined forces to transform Madagascar's clean cooking sector into a driver of economic growth and environmental protection. This partnership was formalized on December 10, 2025.

Our CEO, Nassima Sadar-Gravier, participated in two key panels: The role of impact entrepreneurs in shaping the future & Making ecological transformation a lever for prosperity.

This week, AfroClimate was proud to partner with INDRI, Miarakap, Economic Policy Network, and Kinomé for the international conference "Madagascar: Gambling on Development - From Revolution to Green and Inclusive Growth" (December 9-10, 2025).

This is regeneration at its best: African-led, community-grown, and anchored in local wisdom. Read more:afroclimate.org/post/restoring…

What happens when climate action is driven by communities rather than imposed on them? In Kenya’s coastal counties, the results are remarkable: restored soils, stronger food systems, new green enterprises, and a renewed sense of stewardship.

Imagine what that means for us; cleaner air in our homes, safer kitchens for our families, new jobs, and women-led enterprises showing the way forward. Mention innovative ways in your community that can make this investment count.

The African Development Bank estimates $37 billion in investment is needed to reach universal clean cooking access by then. That’s not a cost; it’s an opportunity. Every dollar spent on clean cooking returns up to $5 in health, time, and environmental benefits.

At AfroClimate, we believe that clean kitchens mean healthy lives; and that every household, urban or rural, deserves the dignity of safe, modern energy. What step can you take today to support clean kitchens and healthy lives across Africa?
