LocationsThe women in Cacula, Huíla, work hard to grow food and support their families and community.
However, without electricity, they struggle to effectively produce and store their harvests, such as pumpkin and sweet potato, resulting in lost opportunities to thrive.
Through the Solar Kitchen: Cooking with the Right Energy campaign, UNDP Angola aims to provide solar-powered kitchens, along with better conditions, such as improved access to water and equipment to enhance production, transform crops into market-ready goods, and preserve food and products.
With your support, we can create sustainable income opportunities for the women-led cooperative, starting with Cacula as the pilot and extending to other communities across Angola.
This UNDP initiative, in partnership with other African countries, is part of the Switch it! – The Power of the Right Energy campaign.

How It Started
UNDP Angola has embraced a portfolio approach based on systems thinking, recognizing that "the world is complex and reality presents several interlinked development challenges. This portfolio approach focuses on coordinated actions across themes like green transition, agricultural value chains, and digitalization to "change the configuration of the system into an improved configuration.
The "Solar Kitchen" initiative exemplifies this system approach, aiming to holistically tackle barriers to sustainable, economically empowered communities in Angola.
Through partnership and collaboration, UNDP Angola is learning to adopt a new way of thinking, planning, and acting upon the complexity of development.
