Improved Cookstove and Safe Drinking Water Project in Africa and Asia-VPA2 Uganda
Gold Standard · GS13096 · Uganda
About this project
The VPA aims to reduce the consumption of non-renewable woody biomass for cooking and boiling water by distributing improved cookstoves (ICSs) and safe drinking water (SDW) systems within the project boundaries. Implementing the VPA will reduce wood biomass consumption and carbon emissions, contribute to public health, prevent deforestation, and support the host country's climate change response and sustainable development.
