Production Short Movie about Cookstoves: Upscaling Markets and Upgrading Cookstoves
1. Background
Half the households in Vietnam are cooking on biomass fuels and traditional stoves. This poses high risks on health for nearly 10 million people across the country, where annually 45,000 people die from diseases associated with smoke exposure from cooking and many more suffering from ill health. Burning of biomass inefficiently also contributes significantly to pressure on the environment including global warming. Moreover, mainly women and children bear the brunt of wood collection activities.
To address these challenges, the Energizing Development partnership, carried out by GIZ and SNV, operate an innovate project to develop the supply chain of fuel efficient and cleaner biomass cookstoves.
Over the past three years of operation, four factories have been involved in an incentives scheme that led to the sales of 23 thousand cookstoves that were eligible under the project.
