Clean Electric Cooking for Households in Malawi
Gold Standard · GS11535 · Malawi
About this project
The main objective of the project is to provide access to clean and affordable electric cooking for electrified households in order to displace the use of unsustainably sourced firewood and charcoal for cooking purposes. Despite having access to electricity, it is still common for households to cook with biomass as the high investment costs for electric cooking equipment still represent a barrier for the replacement of biomass stoves and three-stone fire cooking setups. The project aims at helping households overcome this barrier by providing electric cooking sets at a subsidised price and a flexible payment model along with the necessary training to guarantee a successful experience for the users.
