Simoshi was proud to attend yesterday the Kampala Climate Change Stakeholder Dialogue and sign the implementation partnership agreement with Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) to support the Kampala Climate Change Action Plan.
KCCA with support from the French Government through Expertise France, French Development Agency and FEM as part of the africa4cliamte programme, has developed a Kampala Climate Change Action Strategy for the city.
The Action Plan details the initiatives and deliberate actions that will need to be taken to ensure Kampala's resilience to the impacts of climate change and it communicates a clear vision shaping KCCA's response to climate change.
Simoshi will be responsible to changing the traditional cooking habits in 79 supported KCCA primary schools. 60,000 children will benefit from the installation of institutional improved cook stoves, with 10,000 tonnes of CO2 to be reduced annually and 11.4 tonnes of firewood saved per year.
As part of the carbon finance project with the Clean Development Mechanism and the Gold Standard, Simoshi will use the future revenues from the sale of the carbon credits to provide free annual maintenance to all stoves, and further implement green development projects with other KCCA partners in the fields of food security, renewable fuels and tree planting.
