About this project
This Small-Scale project will distribute subsidised improved efficiency cookstoves within the Lilongwe and Chiradzulu districts of Malawi, reducing fuel use and associated greenhouse gas emissions by end users. Additional benefits include a reduction in deforestation and respiratory illnesses caused by smoke inhalation. The project will be carried out in line with the Gold Standard methodology Technologies and Practices that Displace Decentralized Thermal Energy Consumption Version 3.1.
