About this project

West Wollega Multipurpose Cook Stove (MPCS) Distribution Project is a small-scale project activity initiated by Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus – Development & Social Services Commission (EECMY DASSC) and implemented in Gimbi, Lalo Hasabi, Bodji Dirmaji, Nedjo, Gulliso and Aira areas of West Wollega Zone, Oromia region, Ethiopia. The project boundary is highly subjected to forest degradation triggered by anthropogenic activities. Extensive use of nonrenewable biomass for household energy and expansion of agricultural land are the major contributors to forest degradation in the project boundary. To reduce the use of non-renewable biomass for household cooking, EECMY DASSC designed a project aimed to disseminate high efficient locally produced multipurpose cook stove called “Bilise stove” (mean free from burden/challenge) for households in the project boundary that meet their cooking demand. The stoves have thermal efficiency of 32% and will reduce the amount of fuel consumed for cooking thereby reducing GHG emissions, forest degradation, and improve the health condition of local community.
