About this project

The objective of the Darfur Efficient Cook-stove Project is to reduce dependence on non-renewable biomass as a cooking fuel by households in El Fasher town, Sudan. The project reduces net anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions by providing a LPG fuel and appliance system with increased combustion and heat transfer efficiency compared with the baseline scenario using non-renewable biomass for cooking. The project is based on a successful pilot activity funded by the UK Dept for International Development. It delivers a number of important social co- benefits, including a significant reduction in indoor air pollution in households, reduced overall household energy expenditures for low-income families, and reduced pressure on dwindling forest resources in the Darfur region of Sudan. Finally, the project strengthens the managerial capacity of the community- based Women’s Development Association and creates local employment during the project implementation period
