About this project

The Durable Solutions Congo: Clean energy and environmental resilience in the DRC, is a Programme of Activities (PoA) whose purpose is to improve access to efficient cookstoves and safe water supply technologies for low-income households in rural and peri-urban areas throughout the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The technologies distributed under this PoA aim to address pressing environmental, health and social challenges in a locally appropriate manner. Serving as the starting point, the real-case VPA intends to contribute towards the goals of the PoA by distributing the “Sala Makala Stove,” a Top-Lit Up-Draft (TLUD) stove capable of combusting firewood more efficiently than traditional/3-stone biomass cookstoves. Thereby saving approximately 2.04 tCO2e per household per year. The project further aims to improve air quality and subsequently, household health, by reducing exposure to harmful smoke, as well as reducing fuelwood consumption with greater stove efficiency.
