About this project
This project aims to improve access to an improved cookstove, the Chitetezo Mbaula, in the Least Developed Country of Malawi. The primary purpose therefore of this Small Scale CPA is to reduce GHG emissions from the combustion of non-renewable biomass, while simultaneously contributing to the wider sustainable development of households in Malawi. This will be achieved by increasing access to, and uptake of a locally produced improved clay cookstove, known as the Chitetezo Mbaula.
