About this project

The purpose of the voluntary project activity (VPA) is to distribute improved and clean cookstoves amongst communities across Rwanda. The project’s primary target are end-users who cook using inefficient biomass cookstoves in the rural areas of the country. The use of project technology will displace GHG emissions from the thermal energy consumption of households and contribute towards reduced household air pollution. The project will contribute towards various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by reducing GHG emissions associated with the use of non-renewable biomass for cooking in the targeted population, improving the health of the communities who exposed to high levels of indoor air pollution, creating local employment opportunities and making the end-users energy efficient. The project is a voluntary initiative coordinated by EcoLinks Co., Ltd. They are also the coordinating and the managing entity.
