Description

COSV and CarbonSink are planning to distribute energy efficient cookstoves to approximately 4,000 families within 14 rural communities living in the buffer area of Gilè Natural Reserve, in the province of Zambezia in Mozambique. Most families in the area cook with traditional three stone fires which consume large amounts of firewood. This means that a lot of time is spent for the firewood collection. The firewood collection is also causing deforestation and land degradation. Firewood combustion is moreover a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions responsible for climate change. In addition to the environmental consequences, there are serious health implications related with the inefficient cooking methods through the exposure on the smoke and other emissions. The project will be attempting to address these issues by distributing energy efficient cookstoves at a subsided rate to households. The energy efficient stoves will allow households to cook the same amount of food using less firewood.
