Clean Cooking Programme by Bidhaa Sasa
Gold Standard · GS12577 · Ghana
About this project
Bidhaa Sasa's Programme of Activities (PoA) “Clean Cooking Programme by Bidhaa Sasa” is a pioneering initiative aimed at transforming cooking practices in Africa. The proposed PoA has been developed by Bidhaa Sasa UK Ltd (Bidhaa Sasa) with the purpose of replacing the use of polluting non-renewable biomass and fossil fuels used for cooking by households within the target programme areas. This will be achieved through the distribution and installation of electric pressure cookers and electric induction cookers, LPG cookers and other hight Tier cooking solutions. The programme initially focuses on end-users who cook with wood and charcoal in inefficient stoves but who are already connected to the grid. The use of electricity for cooking using efficient electric cooking appliances is expected to provide an affordable, convenient, and safe cooking solution to the end-users. Furthermore, the programme will focus on several African countries with very clean electricity mix.
