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 in the Albertine Rift Wildlife Corridor in Uganda which previously have had no access to improved cookstoves. The efficient cook stoves 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.
