The NaijaCookWise campaign, powered by SustyVibes, has convened a landmark stakeholder dialogue to advance clean cooking solutions.
According to the firm, the pivotal gathering brought together government officials, NGOs, manufacturers, community leaders, innovators, and youth leaders to champion the adoption of cleaner cooking fuels nationwide.
Speaking during the stakeholder dialogue, chief of staff at SustyVibes, Sonia Ugwunna, noted that the dialogue marks a crucial milestone in the NaijaCookWise campaign’s mission to raise awareness, drive behavioral change, and promote the use of cleaner cooking fuels among youth, women, and stakeholders.
According to Ugwunna, this initiative embodies the campaign’s commitment to evidence-informed advocacy, inclusive engagement, and behavior-centered approaches.
“Change must begin by addressing the root drivers of the status quo.
This dialogue reminded us that only through consistent collaboration and strategic thinking can we build a future where clean cooking is accessible, affordable, and embraced by all,”she stated.
Through lively discussions and expert insights, participants identified economic empowerment as a primary driver for accelerating clean energy adoption. They also emphasized the importance of targeting underserved communities and ensuring that no community is left behind in the pilot states.
As the dialogue drew to a close, stakeholders unanimously agreed that education and sensitization, particularly among the younger generation, are crucial for filling knowledge gaps and safeguarding the future.
The NaijaCookWise campaign will compile the dialogue’s findings into a comprehensive communique, which will be shared with stakeholders, guiding the next steps towards a cleaner, healthier Nigeria.
