Rwanda Clean Cookstoves Project
Efficient household stoves that reduce firewood demand, cooking smoke and pressure on local biomass resources.
Climate finance connected to practical delivery
Community delivery supported through carbon finance and project monitoring.
Wood fuel is central to household cooking in rural Rwanda. Traditional three-stone fires are inefficient, draw heavily on biomass resources and expose cooks and families to smoke in the home.
The project distributes improved cookstoves in Bugasera District. Their higher efficiency reduces the amount of firewood needed for cooking and supports lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Technology, people and place

Delivery backed by monitoring
The project record reports more than 20,000 improved cookstoves distributed in the Eastern Province. Project monitoring covers stove use, fuel consumption and the evidence required for certification.
Using less fuel can also reduce time spent collecting firewood and reduce household exposure to cooking smoke, with particular relevance for women and children.
Climate impact alongside community priorities
Project monitoring can cover emissions reductions together with locally relevant outcomes. The applicable indicators and certification claims depend on the project design and monitoring period.
