Project Overview
The project objective is to reduce mangrove deforestation caused by cooking fuelwood demand on the coastal areas of Myanmar by distributing 1 million improved cooking stoves (ICS) to 500,000 coastal families in Ayeyarwady region. This project is aligned with IO1. Strengthened national, sub-national and local green growth planning, financing and institutional frameworks
Scaling-up the distribution of Improved Cooking Stoves (ICS) in Myanmar is hindered by financial and logistical barriers. (i.e. lack of capital and poor money value chain communication). To address this issue, the distribution of Improved Cooking Stoves (ICS) will be funded through a carbon credits financial mechanism. The financial and ICS distribution mechanisms will be linked using the blockchain technology. This technology will allow us to scale up ICS manufacturing and distribution by overcoming the financial and carbon credits accounting constrains of a common ICS project.
Project Impacts, Outcomes and Outputs
Impact: 1. Reduce mangrove deforestation directly linked to fuelwood consumption for cooking in the Delta Region through the distribution of 1 million ICS in the Delta Area.
Impact: 2. Provide 500,000 households with access to clean cooking systems in the Delta Region
Outcome: N/A
Project Outputs completed in 2019: N/A
