About this project

This Program of Activity (PoA) seeks to encourage the implementation of efficient cook stoves in Burkina Faso. This may be done trough training locales to use improved technologies and building the stoves themselves or partially subsidising the sale of improved cookstoves. Biomass and heating wood are a major source of energy in Burkina Faso. This results in significant pressure on the local forests especially in rural areas where the local populations depend on these forests for their everyday living needs. This energy efficient project which involves the dissemination of efficient cooking stoves will help reduce the consumption of wood as well as reducing carbon emissions.
