About this project

Equatoria Clean Cooking, in partnership with the carbon project developer hummingbirds, aims to distribute 300,000 improved wood stoves to rural households that currently rely on firewood for cooking. The VPA will be implemented across 11 districts in West Nile, including Moyo, Obongi, Yumbe, Koboko, Maracha, Terego, Arua, Madi-Okollo, Nebbi, Zombo, and Pakwach. The project’s primary goal is to replace inefficient stoves with improved cookstoves to reduce the environmental and health impacts of biomass fuel use.
