Publication dateObjective
The project was implemented in Lingeka and Nyanza villages in the Meatu District, Shinyanga region. The main goal was to improve livelihoods for poor rural households, with a special focus on women. The core problem addressed was the lack of reliable and clean energy for lighting and inefficient use of biomass for heating and cooking. Women and girls are the most affected by indoor air pollution and burden of collecting firewood. The project addressed the problem by introducing solar home lighting systems (SHS) and energy efficient stoves.

Publication dateObjective
The carbon benefits of any forest carbon project are estimated on the basis of changes of carbon stocks in different biomass pools and such changes may be determined through continuous forest inventories, possibly combined with growth estimates, and the use of models for biomass estimation, i.e. allometric biomass equations. At national and regional levels this requires, among others, good quality data from a detailed national forest inventory. At local levels simpler inventories may be sufficient.

Publication dateSectorsApproachTanzania is working to protect its forests and the health of its population by deploying low emission biomass stoves for household and institutional cooking. The Climate Technology Centre is working with the communities of Lindi, Mtwara and Pwani to develop sustainable charcoal and wood fuel value chains, including charcoal and cook stove production for use in both rural and urban areas.
