Gold Standard · GS11917 · Malawi
About this project
The CPA aims to disseminate approximately 21,106 improved cookstoves that are more efficient and use less wood for household cooking and heating than the traditional stoves; and to promote improved kitchen and firewood management practices e.g. use of less firewood, use of dry firewood, using a pot lid while cooking and soaking legumes before cooking (i.e. practices) to households in Malawi.
