Clean Cooking Webinar: National Needs Assessment and Stakeholder Mapping
This webinar focuses on conducting national health and energy assessments, by providing a tool for joint stakeholder mapping and situational assessment to inform future planning.
The session will provide details on a set of WHO templates to conduct a rapid situational assessment and stakeholder mapping of key stakeholders and programmes active in the household energy and health sector. This resource, the Household Energy Assessment Rapid Tool (HEART), has been used by over ten countries. The session will include discussion of several case studies and lessons learned from countries that have implemented the tools.
This session is part of the webinar series Transitioning to Clean Cooking, hosted by the Health and Energy Platform of Action (HEPA), WHO and Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA). The series will explore the policies, tools, and interventions needed to accelerate access to clean cooking.
