About

The Clean Cooking Project for Refugees, Host Communities, and Marginalized Communities in Bangladesh aims to improve living conditions, particularly in Rohingya refugee camps and other underserved communities across the country. By distributing energy-efficient improved cookstoves (ICS), the project reduces reliance on traditional wood-fuel stoves, addressing both environmental and health challenges. As of the latest monitoring report, 125,003 ICS have been distributed. The project has also requested recognition for a total of 186,973 tCO2e in greenhouse gas emission reductions in the first two years. In addition to reducing emissions, the project improves indoor air quality, reduces health risks associated with traditional cooking methods, and creates economic opportunities by providing 300 jobs. It also supports social well-being through significant time savings for women in fuel collection and cooking. This initiative contributes to both environmental sustainability and community development, backed by its certification under the Gold Standard for Global Goals (GS4GG)​.
