ADES Solar and efficient stoves in Madagascar

The objective of the project is to provide solar cookers and efficient wood stoves for cooking to people in the South of Madagascar (former province of Tuléar). Wood fuel and charcoal consumption can be substantially reduced, which helps to lower the pressure on the valuable forests in the region. Th cookers have to be subsidized to make them affordable to the local people. In order to convince the people to the new way of cooking training programs, cooking demonstrations, workshops and publicity programs are planned. The project will be implemented by ADES – Association pour le Développement de l’Energie Solaire.
