GS5658 VPA 38: Fuel-efficient cookstoves for the resilience of rural communities in Burundi

The micro-scale Voluntary Project Activity (VPA) is planning to manufacture and distribute energy efficient cookstoves of the BIIKIGITI model within the districts of Kayanza, Ngozi and Kirundo in Burundi. The project is carried out by the consortium Fondazione AVSI and Norwegian Church Aid under the main project "UMUCO W`ITERAMBERE - Contribution à la résilience intégrée des communautés rurales à travers l'accès à l'énergie durable" financed by the European Union. The distribution of cookstoves is expected to include around 3.500 stoves. Most families in Burundi cook with traditional inefficient cookstoves that consume large amounts of firewood. The consume of firewood is increasing the rate of deforestation and land degradation, and its combustion is 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 address the challenges above by reducing the consume of wood during the cooking activities. Besides reducing greenhouse gas emission and contributing to climate change mitigation in line with the UN's Sustainable Development Goal number 13 ("Climate Action"), the project activities are foreseen to contribute also other sustainable development goals.
