Group to make Nigeria’s clean cooking campaign national priority

Nigeria’s International Centre for Energy, Environment and Development (ICEED) is seeking to elevate clean cooking as a national priority to attract climate finance and carbon market investment. During a stakeholder workshop in Abuja, ICEED highlighted the need for a stronger Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) framework to support clean cooking projects, carbon credit issuance, and investor confidence. The initiative aims to unlock carbon finance and accelerate the deployment of clean cookstoves in line with Nigeria’s NDC commitments. Experts also emphasized the importance of digital MRV systems, unified data infrastructure, and automated verification processes. According to workshop participants, digital MRV could improve verification efficiency by up to 70% and strengthen the integrity and scalability of Nigeria’s emerging carbon market.
