Yesterday we received the good news that our Project Activity “Institutional Improved Cook Stoves for Schools and Institutions in Uganda” registered with the Gold Standard, had its renewal of the monitoring period approved. This means, our intervention with schools through the installation of energy efficient cook stoves, and the subsequent reductions of firewood generating carbon credits, will be extended for five more years until March 2027.
Today, almost 100 schools are benefitting from the income generated from the sale of the carbon credits, as their institutional improved cook stoves are repaired every year, since 2016, free of cost. We cannot wait to replicate this successful model to another 200 schools, so many of the positive outcomes generated from such activities are expanded over the next crediting period. Proof of such positive impact are the nine Sustainable Development Goals monitored, verified, reported and achieved!
