By being adaptable and tailoring our approaches to these different contexts, we can contribute to impact at scale, resulting in more equitable lives for all. Our team works with local actors and partners to equip communities and businesses with the tools, knowledge, and connections they need to increase their incomes and gain access to basic services. SNV’s energy sector supports the development of inclusive markets for sustainable energy, contributing to more equitable livelihoods for all. With the financial support from the GIZ managed EnDev programme, SNV Nepal is implementing “Market Development of Electric Cooking in Nepal” project. This project aims to increased access to clean cooking and market system development for clean kitchen, improved health of the family, improved socio-economic and environmental conditions. It is important to acknowledge that this project is part of a longer-term process leading towards universal access to clean cooking in the country.

This project has helped in developing a healthy market for electric cooking (induction cooktop set) for households in Karnali, Lumbini and Sudurpaschim Provinces offering customer choice in cooperation with communities, rural/municipalities, service providers, and other related community organisations. This clean/electric cooking component is being implemented with the Result Based Financing (RBF) framework also addressing awareness raising, behaviour change activities, and providing technical assistance for the range of stakeholders, capacity building of the main public sector actors, and stakeholders’ coordination.
