Improving livelihoods and protecting forests in DRC with efficient cookstoves
In North Kivu, the most densely populated province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, more than 90% of people rely on wood or charcoal for energy. Rising charcoal prices strain household budgets. Most of this fuel is harvested unsustainably, including from Virunga National Park, driving deforestation and emissions.
