Unveiling the Minister at a brief ceremony in Accra, Kwesi Sarpong, the Country Manager for Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves said the alliance was founded by a Public Private Partners in the year 2010.
According to him, the partners took the decision on clean cooking because it was killing people more than Malaria and HIV/AIDS in the developing world.
He explained that over seventeen thousand people are killed annually out of traditional open cooking and fuels in the developing countries.
Women and children are the hardest hit by the chronic upper respiratory diseases in the developing countries.

‘I have seen firsthand the impacts of cooking over open fires and heavily-polluted stoves.
We must address this issue to save lives, protect the environment and empower women in Ghana as well as the world.
To achieve clean cooking in Ghana is possible because India has been able to achieve 75 percent clean cooking she stressed.
