Efficient Cookstoves in Bahia II - Santo Amaro

The project aims to distribute energy-saving cookstoves for domestic use in the target communities in the Reconcavo Region in Bahia State, north-eastern Brazil. The efficient stoves substantially reduce the demand for wood fuel, which in turn decreases environmental degradation and greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, the dissemination of the stoves improves the health of women and children by reducing the inhalation of smoke and smoke induced eye irritation. The project consists of 1,398 installed ICS at the end of the monitoring period.
