About this project

This Micro-Scale Voluntary Project Activity for the PoA African Improved Cookstoves and Clean Water Programme involves the distribution of approximately 2,000 domestic fuel-efficient cook stoves to households within the districts of Rutsiro and Ngororero, Rwanda, which previously have had no access to improved cookstoves. The Gishwati – Mukura Forest Conservation Project currently includes three VPAs. The plan is to distribute 2,000 stoves in each and every VPA, which gives a total of 6,000 stoves for all the three Gishwati VPAs. The project owner Likano Project Development GmbH will work closely with the in-country partner Rwandese Association of Ecologists (ARECO) in the preparation and implementation of the project.
