CCASClean Cooking · Somalia
Federal law for every kitchen.
The Policy working group writes, lobbies for and defends the rules a clean-cooking transition needs — at federal, federal-member-state and municipal level. The Federal Clean Cooking Strategy. National stove and fuel standards. Charcoal-export controls. Tariff and subsidy reform on LPG, ethanol, electric. Carbon finance regulation. Nothing the other five pillars do can scale if the legal floor is missing — so this pillar sets it.
Without a policy floor, every gain resets each year.
A donor-funded MSME wins on Monday and loses to an import-duty change on Friday. A federal pilot expands and is unwound at the next ministerial reshuffle. CCAS exists in part because a permanent table is the only way Somalia stops re-litigating its clean-cooking transition every fiscal year.
The agenda is published.
Round one of the Federal Strategy is open for member review through 2026 · 05 · 15. Round two adds the federal-member-state caucus. Round three goes to the Council of Ministers. In parallel: technical drafting of the eight priority bills, briefing notes for parliamentary clerks, and a regulatory-impact dossier per bill.
