The World Bank has launched a groundbreaking US$200 million Clean Cooking Outcome Bond to support safer, healthier cooking for Ghanaian homes. The initiative aims to distribute more than 415,000 clean cookstoves nationwide, improving the lives of over 1.3 million people. By reducing smoke pollution and cutting reliance on charcoal and firewood, the project promises better health, lower household costs, and environmental protection. This innovative financing model links investor returns to real climate impact through carbon-credit generation. For Ghana, it marks a major step toward clean energy access and a more sustainable future.
