Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetFuel-efficient mud stoves in Darfur, Sudan 2016
Also available in:
No results found.The protracted conflict since 2003 in Darfur, Sudan has resulted in massive loss of human lives and assets, disrupted livelihoods and led to severe food insecurity in some areas. As of December 2015, more than 2.6 million people are currently displaced in Darfur – approximately 42 per cent of the total population. Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) and their host communities have limited livelihood options and often rely on unsustainable coping strategies, such as the unmanaged cutting of trees and shrubs for fuelwood and charcoal production. This places an additional burden on Darfur’s fragile ecosystem. Fuel-efficient stoves (FES) can make an important contribution in refugee and IDP camps, but also in other areas with high population density and scarce natural resources. -

A post-distribution assessment to enhance Safe Access to Fuel and Energy (SAFE) - Improving Safe Access to Fuel and Energy in northeastern Nigeria
2019Also available in:
No results found.Armed conflict in northeastern Nigeria – Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States – has driven millions from their homes and uprooted agriculture‑based livelihoods. In worst affected Borno, poor energy access has exposed vulnerable people to a number of challenges linked to food insecurity and malnutrition, deforestation, protection risks and health risks. When using inefficient energy technologies, such as open fires, the demand for these energy resources is high. In response, FAO is implementing Safe Access to Feul and Energy, following a three-way programmatic approach, namely: (i) reducing energy demand by promoting fuel-efficient technologies; (ii) increasing energy supply through sustainable forestry management practices; and (iii) promoting safe and sustainable livelihoods. With the support of Norway and in partnership with the International Centre for Energy, Environment and Development, FAO provided 5 000 people (IDPs, returnees and host community members) with locally produced cooking stoves in Maiduguri, Jere and Konduga local government areas of Borno. To evaluate the impact of the stove distribution (December 2018), FAO undertook a household survey. Key findings included improved access to energy, high adoption of the stoves, and reduced (i) fuel use and costs, (ii) risk of physical harm to women and girls and (iii) health risks. -

Also available in:
No results found.The compendium on Small-scale Industrial and Institutional Stoves contains a wealth of information on a sector which generally does not recieve much attention from outsiders including policy makers. That is unfortunate, as the small scale industrial sector, in particular those based in rural areas, provides an opportunity for local people to process local raw materials. It creates thereby opportunities to add value to these local products while at the same time generating employment-all importan t issues for rural development.
