About this project

he "Women Soil and Energy” or FSE -project is included as VPA-4 in the program of activities (PoA) GS2489 "Efficient cookstoves in Benin and Togo" and is implemented by EcoBenin. This project extends the distribution of the Wanrou efficient cookstove to more than 3,000 rural households. This microscale VPA is part of a group of 2 VPA’s, which will be implemented together in the municipalities Copargo, Natitingou and Boukoumbé. The Wanrou efficient cookstove is the same cookstove technology implemented by EcoBenin in VPA-01 and VPA-02 of the GS2489 PoA. Since the objective of FSE project is to reduce deforestation and land degradation by improving energy efficiency in rural households in the face of climate change in the Atacora/Donga Department, it therefore allows the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. This project will increase the capacity to reduce CO2 emissions by rural households through the usage of the Wanrou efficient cookstove.
