The Clean Cooking Alliance, formerly the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves,[2] is a non-profit organization[3] operating with the support of the United Nations Foundation[4] to promote clean cooking technologies in lower and middle-income countries. Four million people a year die from health problems attributable to household air pollution from the use of polluting open fires and inefficient fuels for cooking.[5][3] The Alliance was announced in 2010 by then-U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.[6] Dymphna previously worked as CEO for the Clinton Climate Initiative organization.
They also provide grants for research and initiatives that support the aims of the Alliance,[7] advocate for international standards for stove manufacturers,[8] and coordinate research and knowledge of the issues surrounding the use of clean cookstoves.[9]
