Conclusion: Final remarks by Dr. Sylvie Namwase

As this conversation has shown, clean cooking is not just a technological transition, but a policy, equity, and governance challenge. Uganda’s journey toward clean cooking requires deliberate coordination across government, communities, and the private sector to ensure that solutions are accessible, affordable, and responsive to people’s lived realities. An enabling framework must move beyond commitments on paper to implementation that prioritizes public health, environmental sustainability, and gender justice. Only then can clean cooking truly transform lives and contribute to inclusive national development.
