About this project

This project is a community-based project that involves the production, distribution, and operation of improved woodstoves across the Bomachoge Constituency, Kisii County, Kenya. The objective is to reduce wood fuel consumption in the region through the use of efficient cookstoves. This project will contribute to avoid GHG emissions generated by wood burning and reduce deforestation rates that are very high in the region. The project will also improve living conditions of families who will spend less time in collecting firewood (half time on average) or spend less money in purchasing firewood. Finally, it will contribute to improve health of the users who are mostly women since the cookstoves generate reduced amount of smoke, leading to a decrease of disease related to indoor pollution. EcoAct SAS will be the Coordinating Managing Entity (CME) of the project and will oversee carbon credits certification under Gold Standard and overall project management. With the local support of the partner KESYDO, EcoAct SAS will coordinate the production and distribution of improved cookstoves across this project area.
