About this project

The project aims to bring a positive impact in the livelihoods of project beneficiaries, by disseminating improved cooking devices in Uganda. The project ICSs' will replace traditional / inefficient biomass stoves in the baseline. The prevalent use of traditional / inefficient cooking technologies in Uganda results in significant GHG emissions from use of non-renewable biomass (NRB) sourced unsustainably. Furthermore, the traditional solid biomass-based cooking releases significant amounts of smoke, particulate matter (PM), exposing the primary cook to hazardous levels of indoor air pollution (IAP). The project ICSs are designed to be thermally more efficient than baseline stoves and hence reduce fuel consumption, cooking time and smoke, PM emissions. Thus, the project reduces GHG emission, while simultaneously creating cleaner cooking environment for women and reduced IAP exposure to women and children.
