About this project

The project aims at distributing 100 000 fixed improved cookstoves to eligible households in the districts of Northern Cameroon (Adamawa, North and Far North) over the next 2 years. Those single-pot cookstoves will be built in-situ into domestic kitchens. Kiasi Energies will disseminate fixed Improved Cookstove (ICS) in Cameroon that will drastically increase community access to clean cooking solutions by providing, installing, and maintaining energy efficient and smoke reducing cookstoves. These improved cookstoves will be distributed for free. The aim of the project is to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases incurred by high wood consuming cooking practices. Indeed, in Northern Cameroon, a large part of the population is still cooking with a three-stone fire. However, fewer and fewer wood resources are available in this region, making it costly and time consuming to find wood for the households. The distribution of these stoves directly improves energy access and reduces wood fuel consumption, thus slowing down deforestation. It is expected to prevent the emission of 137,106 t of CO2eq per year, on average. It also benefits the local population with several other socio-economic matters addressed by the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, such as improved health for the households, gender equality, reduced poverty, and others.
