Day 3 in Maputo

This simpatic man is called Luis Josè. He has had the efficient stove for now for 5 months and in this time he has became a real promoter of the advantages of the new stoves - he told that more than 10 of his relatives and neighbours has bought the new stoves following his positive experience with the stove!

Day 2 in Maputo.

Today the first monitoring activities were launched in the project area by starting a procedure called “Kitchen Performance Test”. During this test randomly selected households will be visited for 4 sequent days and each day the consumed charcoal will be measured and recorded by the field team. With these measurements we’ll find out the actual charcoal savings achieved by the project!    

Follows few photos of the households visited today: 

CarbonSink in Maputo: Day 1

On Monday (27th of October) started the one week’s site visit of CarbonSink to Maputo! During this week we’ll make the first surveys to monitor the project and its impacts on the local level.

Here you can see the field team of AVSI getting familiar with the surveys questions. Tomorrow they will start the first measurement at randomly selected project households to confirm the actual daily charcoal consume of the efficient stoves!
