About this project

The purpose of this project is to produce and distribute improved biomass cookstoves to households and artisans in urban and rural southern Togo. Currently, most cooking in Togo is done with firewood and charcoal using traditional stoves such as three-stone fires and Malgache stoves. These inefficient stoves have significant impacts on health, forest degradation, and emission of greenhouse gases. This project aims to enable the production and distribution of 200,000 improved cookstoves within 5 years, beginning in autumn 2022. Firewood users will have access to Himalayan cookstoves (produced by local potters using clay and other materials provided by the households themselves) and charcoal users will have access to Asuto cookstoves (portable stoves made up of a ceramic core and metal envelope). Evidence shows that these improved stoves can reduce fuel consumption by around 30% compared to traditional stoves. The project targets households and artisans in the Plateaux, Maritime, and Centrale regions of Togo, which comprises about two-thirds to Togo’s total population.
