UNIDO promoting ethanol clean cooking in Tanzania

In Tanzania, UNIDO is promoting a project to roll out the use of ethanol clean cookstoves in an effort to reduce charcoal use for cooking. The Global Environment Fund project will see 110,000 stoves distributed amongst 500,000 families in the greater urban area while promoting local private sector to develop an ethanol supply chain to ensure enough fuel for these stoves once they have been distributed. The hope is that the project will take off and spread nationwide, resulting in improved health for women and children.
