Tanzania National Clean Cooking Communication Strategy

The National Clean Cooking Communication Strategy (NCCCS) presents a strategic roadmap to catalyse the nationwide transition to clean cooking solutions, in support of the broader objectives outlined in the National Clean Cooking Strategy (2024–
2034). Guided by the national slogan “Nishati Safi ya Kupikia, Okoa Maisha na Mazingira” (“Clean Cooking, Saving Lives and the Environment”), the strategy aims to raise awareness and drive behaviour change towards the widespread adoption of clean cooking solutions. The Ministry of Energy (MoE) serves as the custodian of this strategy, with the overall responsibility to oversee, coordinate, and ensure its effective implementation.

The main objective of the strategy is to increase public and institutional awareness of the importance of using clean cooking solutions. Its specific objectives include: (i) Design and implement targeted communication campaigns; (ii) Ensure consistent and unified messaging across all stakeholders; (iii) Develop and strengthen reliable communication channels; (iv) Raise public awareness on financing mechanisms and affordability options; (v) Support capacity-building initiatives by promoting training, educational content, and knowledge-sharing; and (vi) Integrate clean cooking communication into health, gender, and development programmes.
