Implementing efficient cookstoves in Uganda

Energy Efficiency Improvement Project- Corsia Eligible

Description

The activity includes the implementation of improved cook stoves (ICS) during the year 2017 to families within 3 districts of Uganda. Most families living in the area cook currently with traditional three stone fires which consume large amounts of firewood. This means that a lot of time is spent for the firewood collection. The firewood collection is also causing deforestation and land degradation. Firewood combustion is moreover a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions responsible for climate change.
