Clean Cooking to Combat Climate Change in Tanzania

OffgridSun Srl and Mutina Group will distribute improved cookstoves (ICS) to reduce the use of fuelwood or charcoal in rural Tanzania. The project aims at reaching a total number of 5,007 households living in 9 villages located in Morogoro Region in Kilombero District and Ulanga District within Ifakara and Malinyi Provinces respectively. By the implementation of the project, traditional stoves will be replaced with the project stoves that have higher efficiency, and the fuelwood consumption and related carbon emissions will be reduced. The improved cookstoves will be sold at a subsidized affordable price to facilitate the access of the poorest families. Sensitization campaigns on clean cooking and environmental conservation will also be provided to the targeted communities. Local youth will be trained to become local agents to sell the cookstoves within the villages. The income will be used to finance the project management and to purchase more project stoves to scale up the intervention.
