On the occasion of International Women’s Day 2021, a national poster design competition on clean and energy efficient cooking was launched by SREDA, together with GIZ. The objective of the event was to raise awareness on the importance of clean cooking to protect the health of families, and to proliferate information about available clean and energy efficient cooking appliances. Poster campaign can be very useful tool for mass-level campaigns, since visual representation of technical themes is more understandable and attention-grabbing.

Participants were requested to design digital posters on:

• Energy efficient and environment friendly stove, fuel and cooking-aid appliances
• Clean and healthy cooking
• Energy efficiency and conservation in everyday life

Total 81 designs were submitted from different parts of the country. Four designs were selected as winners. Winners were awarded through a ceremony attended by Ms. Zuena Aziz, Principal Coordinator (SDG Affairs), Prime Minister’s Office on the National Energy Security Day, 9 August 2021.

Through the District Commissioners’ offices in the 64 districts, winning posters have been distributed in women’s training institutes, local health complexes, and primary schools around the country.
