Gold Standard · GS12233 · Ghana
About this project
The proposed Gold Standard SSC-VPA “GS1385 Man and Man Enterprise Improved Cooking Stoves Programme in Ghana - VPA004 (Central region)”, hereafter referred to as “VPA004” is carried out within the Central region of Ghana, where households mainly rely on charcoal for cooking purposes, with inefficient devices. The promotion and dissemination of around 190,000 affordable and efficient improved cookstoves (ICS) to low-income Ghanaian households and the associated awareness and training campaigns will help Ghanaian households by replacing currently used traditional coal pot3, thus reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions by 224,471 tCO2/yr. Man and Man Enterprise is the coordinating/managing entity (CME) and also act as the VPA implementer and the technology supplier for the proposed VPA.
