Legacy Project
Developing a Sustainable Cookstove Sector
Funder: USAID
Project Timeline: This project was completed in September 2017.
Country: Kenya
Program Areas: Access to Finance, Market Systems and Clean Energy & Circular Economy
Human health and the environment suffer when people burn wood and other solid fuels in rudimentary stoves and fires to meet their cooking and heating needs. The goal of this USAID-funded program is to create a market for clean, energy-efficient stoves. In Kenya, Winrock is helping to eliminate distribution bottlenecks by expanding cookstove distribution networks and increasing the availability of both consumer and distributor financing, which makes cleaner cookstoves more affordable and accessible to Kenyan consumers.
