Nairobi, Nairobi Area, Kenya Practical Action Kenya Full time
Practical Action is an international non-governmental organization (NGO) that uses technology to challenge poverty in developing countries. We find out what people are doing and help them to do it better.

MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE KILMEAP PROJECT

The project's main objective is to accelerate the growth of the Improved Cook Stove (ICS) sector with an irreversible market transformation that will significantly increase the level of ICS production, improve the quality of the products, and increase sales.

To enable such a paradigm shift, two main barriers will have to be addressed.

On the supply side, the ICS sector is not capable of securing the investment required to scale up ICS production and sales, whereas the demand for ICS remains concentrated in a limited geographic location and among more affluent and better-informed consumer groups.


TARGET GROUPS

This project mainly targets working with ICS last mile entrepreneurs who retail and/or install ICS in their neighborhood/village in rural areas.


TECHNOLOGIES PROMOTED

The project focuses on promoting affordable improved biomass stoves that are locally produced in Kenya, including both charcoal and firewood stoves.

The stoves are expected to fulfil the following criteria:

Firewood stoves:

fuel savings of at least 40% over and above, compared to the fuel consumption of the baseline stove (i.e, three-stone fire).


Charcoal stoves:
fuel savings of at least 30% over and above baseline stove (i.e., Kenya ceramic jiko).
