About this project

The goal of the proposed project is to distribute improved cookstoves (ICS) to households in Zambia. The African Stove Company Ltd. (TASC) is the coordinating/managing entity (CME) of the PoA and is the sole implementer of the VPA. TASC’s mission is financing and developing high-impact climate mitigation projects. The VPA is retroactive in nature, as the first ICS was distributed in Zambia on 16th April 2021.
