About this project

This VPA deploys highly efficient improved cookstoves (ICS), known as ‘Jikokoas’ reducing woody biomass consumption for urban and peri-urban households in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The scenario existing prior to the implementation of the project is the use of very inefficient traditional cookstoves or 3- stone fires, consuming a lot of non-renewable charcoal and firewood. The high biomass consumption has negative impacts on the environment leading to deforestation and land degradation, Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) emissions, loss of soil fertility and soils’ reduced ability of water retention. Further, indoor air pollution through health-damaging pollutants while combusting firewood and charcoal result in diseases like e.g. pneumonia, stroke, ischemic heart diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and lung cancer.
