About this project

The Italian NGO AVSI Foundation in collaboration with the Italian based consultancy company Carbonsink, is planning to distribute energy efficient cookstoves in the district of Balama and Montepuez, Cabo Delgado Province, Mozambique. The distribution of cookstoves started in the end of February 2020 and under this VPA is foreseen to include at least 2.000 fuel-effieicient cookstoves. Besides reducing greenhouse gas emission and contributing to climate change mitigation in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal nro 13, the project is foreseen to provide the several local benefits in the project area.
