Who We Work With

Our Approach

"Africa is ready for clean cooking, with growing consumer demand, increasing government support and enormous LPG potential. Yet knowledge, skills and capacity gaps continue to slow the sector's ability to respond to and serve this demand at scale. ALPGI addresses these gaps by strengthening the wider LPG ecosystem."

That's why we work across the whole ecosystem at once — governments and development partners, LPG companies and National LPG Associations, and academia — so that policy, business and skills develop together.
