GS12600 VPA-5 Improved Cooking: Madagascar
Gold Standard · GS23369 · Madagascar
About this project
The purpose of the Improved Cooking Project in Madagascar is to mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through the distribution of efficient cookstoves. This project aims to enhance environmental sustainability and improve the health and socio-economic conditions of rural and urban communities in Madagascar. By replacing traditional open-fire cooking methods with improved cookstoves, the project will significantly reduce fuel consumption, thereby decreasing deforestation rates and promoting the sustainable management of natural resources. The project aligns with the Gold Standard's objectives of delivering real, measurable, and long-term emission reductions and promoting sustainable development benefits.
