The African LPG Institute (ALPGI) helps African families cook with cleaner, safer fuel instead of wood and charcoal. We are an African-led network that advises and assists governments, industry, investors and communities to make the promise of clean cooking with LPG (liquified petroleum gas) a reality.
ALPGI is the successor to The Global LPG Partnership, a United Nations (UN)-backed, non-profit Public-Private Partnership formed in 2012 under the UN Sustainable Energy for All initiative. We are the Pan-African centre for LPG sector development advice and assistance, providing African-led best-practice advice, advisory services, technical assistance, investment facilitation, and capacity-building programmes for policymakers, businesses, risk and professional services, commercial and development financiers, and civil society. We gather, analyse and disseminate LPG intelligence and best practices, translating LPG-sector complexity into actionable intelligence that helps all stakeholders make better decisions that enable LPG markets to grow..
Our Mission: Help African countries plan, finance and deliver clean cooking with LPG at scale, so families no longer breathe smoke from open fires - improving health, saving lives, and making our environment safer.
