GS1385 Man and Man Enterprise Improved Cooking Stoves Programme in Ghana - VPA001
Gold Standard · GS2094 · Ghana
About this project
The PoA GS1385 (under which activity GS2094 is included) aims at significantly reducing wood fuel consumption of Ghanaian users (primarily households but eventually communities, small and medium enterprises) by providing them with affordable improved cook stoves (ICS) in replacement of their low-efficiency three-stone fires and traditional cook stoves (coal pots). The fuel-efficient charcoal stoves, so called Jiko-type improved cook stove, are manufactured by Man and Man Enterprise (M&M), a Kumasi (Ghana) based private company that produces efficient cook stoves for households.
