GS1340 - Efficient cookstoves in Burkina Faso – tiipaalga F3PA cookstoves in Center-South Protected Areas - VPA-23

The continuous degradation of natural resources (soil, vegetation, water resources, etc.) in the Center-South region of Burkina Faso leads to an increase in household poverty and food insecurity. Based on its experience and achievements with the improved three-stone cookstoves, tiipaalga is aiming to promote the distribution of the F3PA or the 3 stones improved cookstoves around the Center-South Protected Areas. This micro-scale VPA is part of a group of 7 VPA’s aiming to contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change and reduce poverty among rural households by promoting the use of the F3PA improved cookstoves in two (02) rural municipalities in Nahouri province and in five (05) rural municipalities in Zoundwéogo province in the Center-South region. The F3PA wood stoves will replace the traditional open air three stone cooking method whilst respecting the local three stone cooking culture.
