Modern Cooking Facility for Africa Modern Cooking Facility for Africa - Modern Clean Cooking Facility for Africa - Zimbabwe Syftet är ökad tillgång till rena matlagnings metoder (från Tier 4 och uppåt) genom att accelerera marknadstillträde, -utveckling och uppskalning. Angreppsättet är katalytisk upphandling enligt BGFA principerna och riktar sig till företag som erbjuder rena matlagningsalternativ till underförsörjda grupper med kommersiella affärsmodeller med en förväntat mobiliseringsfaktor på 1:3. Programmet genomförs under ett avtal med flera landfönster. The purpose is to increased access to clean cooking alternatives (Tier 4 and above) by accelerating market entrance, development and scale up. The approach is catalytic procurement following the principles of BGFA and targets companies that offer clean cooking alternatives to underserved populations, using commercial business models. The program is implemented under one agreement with several country windows. The goal of Sida's support to MCFA is to contribute to creating the conditions necessary for developing a self-sustaining clean cooking market in the DRC, Kenya, Mocambique, Tanzania and Zambia which serves the needs of people living in poverty. To this end, MCFA is expected to contribute to the following results areas in the respective strategies:

Renewable energy and the sustainable use of natural resources (DRC, Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe), through

- Reaching some 350 000 to 700 000 Tier 4-5 and Tier 3 briquette and pellet cookstove customers and sell 15 000-22 000 tons of fuel
- Reaching around 1.8-3 million beneficiaries (0.7%-1.5% of the total population across the target countries). 

Environment, climate and sustainable use of natural resources (DRC, Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia), through:

- Annually avoiding emissions of 1.5-3 million tons of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) and 1-3 ktons of black carbon.
- Improving biodiversity through reduced deforestation stemming from charcoal production, amounting to an estimated avoided loss of forest cover of between 40 000-90 000 ha

Gender equality (DRC, Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia) and improved health (DRC, Zambia), through

- Improving health, especially for women and girls who spend a lot of time cooking in a hazardous environment, amounting to between 50 000 and 100 000 ADALYs 

Economic growth (Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia), through: 

- Growing the clean cooking sector including formal employment opportunities
- Increasing the amount of decent jobs
