About this project

The Italian ONG AVSI Foundation, with the financial support of Mozambique Rovuma Venture SPA and in collaboration with Carbonsink, is planning to distribute energy efficient cookstoves in the municipality of Pemba, Cabo Delgado Province, Mozambique. The distribution is foreseen to be started in the end of April 2019 and it is targeted to reach at least 10.000 efficient cookstoves sold in the area of Pemba. Besides reducing greenhouse gas emission and contributing to climate change mitigation in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, the project will provide the following benefits for the local families: • Increased penetration of clean and reliable cooking technologies and raising awareness of the related safety, economic, and environmental benefits. • Training and capacity building for the local cookstove producers on efficient cookstove production. • Improved health as less harmful gases are emitted during cooking activities. • Reduced deforestation and degradation of forest as less wood will be needed for charcoal production.
