Project Summary / Description:

The purpose of the project is to install improved cooking stoves (ICS) in institutions and households in central region to reduce consumption of fuelwood and eventually reduce emission of GHGs caused by the use of inefficient traditional cooking stoves.
A large number of institutions ( i.e. , schools, colleges, hotels, hospitals and prisons) in central region in Uganda rely on fuelwood as the main source of energy for cooking and water heating purposes using inefficient traditional stoves resulting in various environmental and health problems. For example, it is estimated that a typical school using inefficient traditional stove consumes about 30 tonnes of fuelwood per month (or 270 tones/year), and thus, under conditions of unsustainable harvesting, would potentially clear approximately 3 hectares of forest cover annually. Practically, the proposed stove technology was adopted from the tradition three stones model currently used in most part of Uganda.
This project was formed in January, 2020

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

The project creates an alternative to the underrepresented within central region. By empowering community members to become strong advocates for their own needs and pushing for a new system of environment protection.
