2. PROJECT OVERVIEW ProjectLocation

3. Problem outline • The cook stove technology applied is ecological sound, sustainable and will make a difference in people’s lives. • Women and children are exposed to the smoke and suffer respiratory infections. • The rural population is using low efficient cook stoves with high fuel wood consumption. CookingPlate Fire Door Chimmney Combustion chamber Grate Air Inlet Opinion on relation between smoke and respiratory infections Ash Tray PROJECT OVERVIEW • Unsustainable extraction of fuel wood has already destroyed more than 80% of the forests in Northeast Brazil. Problem solving • Development of an efficient cook stove adapted to the Brazilian cookery habits • Install 100 units for social adjustment and construction improvements. • Carry out investigation on socio-economic situation, fire wood. consumption and health improvements. • Implement a landscape recovery program for sustainable cultivation • of fuel wood. • Develop the basic requirements of a dissemination strategy.

4. Cook stove material and Manufacturing of structure Project costs PROJECT OVERVIEW Administration : Project development; Logistics; Transport; Training of masons and end users; Installation; Monitoring; Additional Measures : Parallel studies (socio-economic,health); Environmental education;

5. 1.) Provision of a clean and save kitchen: • The Secondary Impacts are: • The Primary Impacts are: • Smoke-free → Less respiratory infections • Closed fire place → No burnings • Heat insulation → Faster cooking • Efficient burning → Less fuel wood consumption MAIN PROJECT IMPACTS 2.) Environmental recuperation: • Education→ Future preservation • Cultivation→ Sustainable fire wood supply

6. The Secondary Impacts are: 1.) Market development: • Local shops → Income generation and Masons Maintenance guaranteed • Manufacturers → Mass production developed • International → Dissemination Strategy Development MAIN PROJECT IMPACTS 2.) Financial leverage: • State Government → 4,000 units ready installed U$ 650,000 in 2007/2008 18,000 in planning phase U$ 3,871,000 in 2008/2009 • Public Health → Less costs

7. 3.) Environmental conscience: • The Secondary Impacts are: • Education • Community mobilization • Tree nurseries MAIN PROJECT IMPACTS 4.) Up-scaling: • Carbon Credit financing • Public Health savings • Governmental funding

8. LESSONS LEARNT The most important lessons learnt were / are: • Project partners were eager to put forward the project idea • Population accepted the new technology without hesitation • Environmental and health benefits were welcome by responsible bodies

9. MAIN CHALLENGES AND RESPONSES Home The main challenges were / are: • Consolidation of Schedules: Project – Governmental bodies • Optimization of cook stove construction for mass production • Set up well-organized logistics • Implement efficient environmental recuperation measures • Education of end users for proper use of the stove

10. FUTURE PLANS • Develop an adequate Dissemination Strategy for the Brazilian ambience (REEEP project until August 2009) • Obtain Carbon Credits ( Atmosfair, Golden Standard, Government of Norway and England) • Convince Foundations to invest in efficient cook stoves and adopted the here developed model ( e.g. Shell Foundation ) • Quantify savings in public health care by implementing efficient cook stoves (Base line data collection; Study) • Amplify environmental education and recuperation measures (Introduce at all involved communities) • Initiate international cooperation with India [ TERI, Amity University ]
