Consultant Service Requirements:

Loughborough University (LU) wishes to recruit a consultant to provide technical and strategic support for developing a national clean cooking strategy for Kenya that addresses the technologies and fuels used in households, institutions, and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Kenya. This coordinating role will enable the Kenya National Clean Cooking Strategy (KNCCS) to examine all options available for clean cooking, including transitional energy sources such as LPG, and make recommendations based on their potential to contribute to the health, environmental and climate change benefits of clean cooking. The KNCCS will be used by partners in the clean cooking space to prioritise activities for implementation and resource mobilisation. Background to the programme can be found in the appendices, section 3.

Please note that:

  • The timely review of drafts prepared by the wider team from other six projects contributing to the KNCSS and of drafts to be reviewed by the wider team is essential to ensure that the requirements for the preparation of the strategy are enabled.
  • The consultant should also be aware of and ensure that they comply with data management

regulation outlined by the Kenya Data Protection Act 2019 and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

  • All data collected during this assignment should be disaggregated by gender and all reporting should include a specific section on Gender, Inclusivity and Social Inclusion (GESI).
  • During this assignment, data should be drawn from and contributed to existing and emerging

knowledge management platforms (e.g. WRI Clean Cooking Explorer, GIZ Clean Cooking Knowledge Platform).

The specific objectives of the KNCCS are:

  • To establish the baseline scenario (current status) of Kenyas clean cooking sector based on some proposed thematic areas (current cooking energy mix (technologies and fuels) enabling environment etc), including the identification of the key barriers and drivers that are likely to affect further uptake of clean cooking solutions. To be able to do this, the consultant will: To assess the evidence produced by the 6 supporting studies/strategies, as well as the wider literature on clean cooking in Kenya and internationally.
  • To quantify the penetration of different clean cooking solutions to date in Kenya at

the National and County levels, highlighting any underserved regions.

  • To explore the nexus between clean cooking and other development sectors including

health, environment, education and agriculture to identify opportunities for further integration.

  • To assess the current status and future outlook for the enabling environment, supply

chain and consumer demand for clean cooking fuels/technologies at the National and County levels.

  • To assess gender dimensions in Kenya’s clean cooking sector and make appropriate

recommendations to facilitate gender mainstreaming in programme design, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and reporting.

  • To determine the most appropriate cooking energy mix to meet the 2028 goal of universal

access to clean cooking.

    • To establish a clear definition of 'clean cooking', which aligns with current national

government commitment (as noted in Kenya’s Energy Compact, Bioenergy Strategy and Household Cooking Sector Study) and international definitions (e.g. World Health Organisation, ESMAP’s Multi-tier Framework, SDG 7 and SEforAll).

    • To establish practical mechanisms to reliably measure progress towards the goal of universal access.
    • To evaluate the relative advantages and drawbacks of each clean cooking fuel/technology.
    • To identify the key market segments and evaluate the compatibility of each fuel/technology with each market segment.
    • To evaluate the complementarity between technologies as part of a clean fuel stack.
  • To develop a roadmap for achieving universal access to clean cooking by 2028 by identifying strategic interventions, setting timelines, estimating cost and deriving indicators for monitoring and evaluating its implementation.
    • To engage with the team working in parallel to ensure suitable financing mechanisms

are in place for the implementation of the strategy

    • To create an integrated energy planning framework that connects National and

County level actions, situates clean cooking within broader energy access planning and connects it to action to tackle Kenya’s broader development challenges.
