About this project

the project is aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation, promoting women empowerment and gender equality through saving them the trouble and time associated with fuel consumption, promoting family financial savings, since Liquified Petroleum gas (LPG) can be cheaper provided that upfront cost and refill challenges are avoided. The project is also designed to provide new employments and improve health and well-being of Tanzanians directly and indirectly through the project activities including the distribution of more than 1million complete metered LPG units to first seven (7) districts of mkalama, Singida, Masasi, Ruangwa, Liwale, Newala, and Mlimba which are found in Morogoro, Singida, Lindi and Mtwara regions over the period of ten years. The vision is to have a positive significant impact on the following sustainable development goals: No poverty (SDG 1), Good health and well-being (SDG 3), Gender Equality (SDG 5), Affordable and clean Energy (SDG 7), Decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), Climate action (SDG 13) and Life on land (SDG 15). The administrative headquarters of the PoA are in Dar es Salaam, the geographic scope of this PoA is expected to grow from the initial seven (7) rural locations to span all of Tanzania eventually.
