Clean energy investments and partnerships to power Nigeria’s development NDFF –5 June, Washington Amina Salihu

The premise  Sustainable development is panacea to long term transformation of communities  Economic indicators must prove that lives are really changed for the better  Investment in infrastructure is the foundation of all development NDFF Conference 2013 AS 2

Post MDG thinking agrees:  a practical focus on things like poverty, hunger, water, sanitation, education and healthcare. With better focus on reaching the very poorest and most excluded people…  More than half of us now live in cities. Private investment in developing countries now dwarfs aid flows.  The 1.2 billion poorest people account for only 1 per cent of world consumption while the billion richest consume 72 per cent.

Clean Cooking Energy and how investing in infrastructure can change lives

The Energy Options  Electricity  Solar  Wind  Hydro  Wood/charcoal  Gas  Agricultural waste NDFF Conference 2013 AS 5 Source:

The Facts  Smoke from cooking with wood cause 95,300 deaths, mostly women and children in Nigeria every year (WHO)  Beyond health, increasing wood use costs poor families money that can be used for food, education and health and contributes to deforestation. Nigeria loses 3% of its forest cover every year. NDFF Conference 2013 AS 7

A smokey situation..  Smoke inhaled from cooking three meals a day by traditional 3- stone fire is equal to smoking 3 packets (60 sticks) of cigarettes  National target: 20 million stoves by 2020 Source: FMoE REP NDFF Conference 2013 AS 8

What is clean cooking energy  Technologies, fuels, equipment and practices that minimise adverse health and environmental impacts associated with traditional cooking with firewood.  Improved and efficient wood, charcoal burning stoves, cooking gas, etc.  Comes in various sizes and anticipates cultural affinity for certain ways of cooking, hence its adaptability to wood, kerosene and gas.

Naming the Opportunities  Technical knowledge: evaluate energy proposals, carbon credit system, setting standards for new products  Ideas and entrepreneurship: to set up clean energy plants, bio fuel- massive waste abound in Nigeria  Support to change champions in government: Jigawa making the improved stoves with 70,000 made in 4 years ICEED working to set up an Assembly plant in Eboyin state to make stoves in Nigeria  Connecting African spaces with best practice innovations: E.g. the wonder bag from South Africa, the Toyola stove from Ghana  Partnerships: Working with credible foundations that are not averse to taking risk  Investment: Private sector investments in the LPG, supply chain such as LPG filling plant, storage facility and distribution and in power plant is a gap NDFF Conference 2013 AS 11

Source: REP FMoE 2013 The Human Foothold: Women and Energy  A social enterprise model to ensure clean energy reaches the poor, provides, income and sustains a demand and accountability loop is required  Mobilise women to demand for higher spending on clean cook stoves programmes  Sensitise private, donors and governments to invest NDFF Conference 2013 AS 12

What are the gains  Diversified economy  Waste to wealth gain  Reduce the number of women and girls dying every year (WHO)  Begin a reversal of our 3% annual tree cover loss  Reduce the present unemployment rate of 23.9% (NBS, 2013 )  Earn income from a 20 to 200 billion USD sector NDFF Conference 2013 AS 13

Thank you for listening  Access to clean energy is a problem that we can solve as a country. If we get the right people, right strategies we can put this behind us and put ourselves on the world map..  Kyawon tafiya dawo wa (Hausa) Ajo kole dabi’le (Yoruba) – East or West Home is the best NDFF Conference 2013 AS 14
