Project Detail

Bunda Teachers' Training College, Bunda

Public institutions specifically schools, prisons and army camps are blamed as greatest sources of deforestation in the country. This is due to their large levels of fuelwood consumption. Environment activists believe that deforestation that is attributed to fuelwood use will be reduced if public institutions switched to fuelwood saving technologies such as biogas, solar and fuelwood efficient cookstoves. The project's main objective is to consolidation of College fuelwood efficient stoves

Project Characteristics and Results

Promoting Public Awareness of Global Environment

Both components of the project address Global environment. Fuel efficient cookstoves reduce emission of carbon dioxide while energy farms provide carbon sink. Therefore, the project will be used to promote public awareness on global environment.

Inovative Financial Mechanisms

Financing arrangement was provided by two partners, GEF/SGP (75%) and the college (25%).

Emphasis on Sustainable Livelihoods

Fuel efficient stoves are low carbon cookstoves. Less smoke emitting stoves will help to reduce indoor pollution. This will contribute to improved livelihoods.

Gender Focus

Fuel efficient stoves cut down fuelwood consumption by 50%. Establishment of energy farms close to homes reduce distance covered for fuelwood collection. Since collection of fuelwood is basically a women's responsibility, the project is succesfully promoting gender equity by reducing women's workload.

Policy Influence

Policy feedback on the use of low carbon cook stoves in Institutions

Significant Participation of Indigenous Peoples

Primary beneficiaries of this project are expencted to disseminate the project experiences to indigenous communities.

Project sustainability

Project generates income through cost saving.

Planning gef grant

Project has potential to be upscaled to GEF MSP.

Planning non gef grant

Project has potential to be upscaled to GEF MSP.

Replication of project activities

Project successfully replicated in Secondary SChools

Linkages gef projects

Project was not linked to any GEF large project.

Capacity - Building Component

The fuel-efficient stove and energy farm components will be used to provide lessons to the college Trainees with a view to equipping them with knowledge that they can disseminate to other places upon graduation from the college.

Policy Impact

The project is consistent with the energy policy which promoted wider use of fuelwood efficient cookstoves.

Notable Community Participation

The school community would provide voluntary labour during istallation of fuelwood efficient stoves.

Project Results

(1) College has reduced emmission of carbon by 70%

(2) Indoor pollution has been cut down by 95%

(3) Cleanliness of the collage kitchen has improved by 100%.

(4) As a result of the modern kitchen, the college has been upgraded to a superior grade.
