Improved Cook Stoves Project in Vietnam

Location – Mekong Delta, Central Highland

Duration – 2022 onwards

Sponsor – Transformation Advisory LLC

The project involves distribution of fuel-efficient improved cookstoves (ICS) in Vietnam. The ICS disseminated through this project will replace the baseline cookstoves. Through this project, the distribution and installation of approximately 250,000 ICS will be undertaken for households in Vietnam. Each household will receive up to 2 ICS per household. The ICS will burn wood more efficiently thereby improving thermal transfer to pots. Not only will this halt the rapidly progressing deforestation in Vietnam but will also reduce health hazards from indoor smoke pollution and women and children will have to spend less time collecting firewood.
