Naafa Cookstove Project
Gold Standard · GS11992 · Guinea
About this project
This Voluntary Project Activity for the PoA ‘Clean Cooking and Safe Water Supply in Africa by EcoAct’ involves the distribution improved cookstoves to households in the rural areas of Kankan region in Guinea, in the Kankan, where the 3-stone stove is used by more than 90% of households. The project will last 5 years and will be renewable twice, for a maximum period of 15 years. The project's cookstove model is a metal-ceramic fireplace using wood. The benefits will be both environmental and social. On the social front, the project will create jobs, reduce smoke emissions including smoke inhalation diseases, and reduce the time spent cooking and collecting biomass because the project's cooking stove needs less biomass to function. From an environmental point of view, the project will reduce the impact on the forest by reducing wood collection and thus avoid carbon emissions. The objective of this improved cookstove project is therefore to improve the health and well-being of households, mainly women and children in the project area, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions released by traditional cooking and water boiling activities. The owner of the project is APEDD, a Guinean NGO (Association of Women for Development) that promotes women's empowerment and environmental protection. The standard chosen for this project is the Gold Standard and the methodology applied is the TPDDTEC (Technologies and Practices for Moving Decentralized Thermal Energy Consumption) V3.1.
