About this project

The continuous degradation of natural resources (soil, vegetation, water resources, etc.) in the Center-West region of Burkina Faso leads to an increase in household poverty and food insecurity. Based on its experience and achievements with energy-efficient cookstoves, NGO Solidagro, with the support of South Pole, is aiming to promote the distribution of the 3 stones improved cookstoves or "F3PA" around the rural municipalities of the province of Boulkiemdé in the Center-West region. This micro-scale VPA is part of a group of VPA’s aiming to contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change and reducing poverty among rural households by promoting the use of the F3PA improved cookstoves in the project intervention area. The F3PA wood stoves will replace the traditional open-fire three-stone cooking method whilst respecting the local three-stone cooking culture.
