As of 2020, the African countries with the lowest share of the population having access to clean cooking fuels and cooking technology were Madagascar and Uganda, each with an access rate of one percent. These were followed by Niger, with a share of two percent. This notwithstanding, countries such as the North African Kingdom of Morocco had almost their entire population with access to clean cooking in the same year.
A report revealed that over three billion people in developing countries rely on coal and traditional biomass to meet their cooking energy needs. Heavy reliance on these, however, often results in exposure to indoor air pollution, which leads to premature deaths.
