About this project

The micro-scale VPA aims at creating and organizing a supply and distribution chain for improved cook stoves in Brazzaville. The improved cook stoves can be used with both firewood and charcoal since those two fuels are widely used in Brazzaville.The project proponent, Initiative Development (ID), helped first the creation of a design adapted to local practices. It then organizes the production and distribution by insuring quality and doing some marketing and advertising for the stoves.Two models have been designed; a big model for restaurants or large families and a smaller model targeting families (although some restaurant owners might also be interested in it).
