The Nepal Country Action Plan (CAP) Report 2022 has signaled the beginning of a new age of clean cooking in Nepal. The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the worldwide fossil fuel crisis led Nepal to speed up the campaign for electric cooking, even though the Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA) has been supporting it for the past few years. In order to reach a large population, the Nepali government has already made a number of announcements through its budget, reducing the import of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and conserving foreign exchange resources.

It was made possible by CCA and The National Planning Commission works closely with the Alternative Energy Promotion Center (AEPC). The report's release coincides with an important official visit to Nepal by top representatives from USAID and the EU, Nepal's two main development partners.
