About this project

This Micro-Scale Voluntary Project Activity under the PoA African Improved Cookstoves and Clean Water Programme involves the distribution of domestic fuel-efficient cook stoves to households close to the Nyungwe National Park in Rwanda which previously have had no access to improved cookstoves. The efficient cook stoves are locally produced. They will be distributed at a highly subsidised cost for users, in exchange for the rights to the Voluntary Emission Reductions (VERs). The majority of families would not otherwise have access to the market for fuel-efficient cook stoves for economic reasons.
