Green Tanzania Cookstove Programme
Gold Standard · GS12118 · Tanzania
About this project
The national penetration of ICS in Tanzania is only 5% that is even lower in rural regions of the country. Lack of agents in rural remote areas, long distances and poor road conditions, lack of finance for the producers who are small scale artisans are among the reasons for the low penetration. In order to overcome those challenges, the proposed Programme will distribute/ install cookstoves in rural Tanzania. The 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 be also provided to the targeted communities. Local youth will be trained to become local agents to sell the cookstoves within the villages.
