Sierra Leone Launches ECOWAS Clean Cooking Gas Program: President The pilot phase will deliver 10,000 LPG canisters to households nationwide as part of a regional push to replace firewood and charcoal, President Julius Maada Bio announced.Nearly 10,000 Sierra Leoneans died in 2021 from air pollution linked to traditional cooking, Bio noted at the launch, calling clean cooking a public health and development priority."What we confront today is not confined to Sierra Leone but Africa as a whole. Lack of access to clean cooking demands our collective response," the president stated.The launch took place during a high‑level policy dialogue in Freetown, where leaders stressed that women should be entrepreneurs and leaders in the clean energy transition, not just beneficiaries.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
