Description of the programme/ objectives
MECS is taking different initiatives to support the transition of low-income economies from biomass to the use of modern energy cooking services (i.e., cooking with electricity, gas, or renewable energies).
It calls for a greater focus on modern energy as the source of clean cooking and has evidenced that cooking with modern energy using energy-efficient appliances can be cost-effective, particularly for urban communities.
To understand how people of different generations learn to cook in the urban areas of Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Zambia, Malawi, and Rwanda, MECS looked for a consultant to collect data that will be used to understand how people learn to cook.
