We have great news to share today, as Simoshi has been the recipient of a grant award from SVN and the Embassy of Sweden, for the Results Based Financing funding mechanism to scale the supply of institutional improved cook stoves (IICS) to 60 new schools in Kampala, Wakiso and Mukono districts.
SNV Netherlands Development Organization in collaboration with Makerere’s College of Engineering, Design, Art, and Technology (CEDAT), and Private Sector Foundation Uganda (PSFU) is implementing a four-year (2021-2025), Inclusive Markets for Energy Efficiency in Uganda (IMEU) project. This project is funded by the Embassy of Sweden (EoS) in Kampala, Uganda.
The project aims at contributing to the development of sustainable and inclusive markets for appropriate energy efficient (EE) products and services for households, agribusinesses, commercial facilities, and social institutions in Uganda.
New joining schools will benefit from 10-year free stove maintenance as part of the Project Activity registered with the Gold Standard.
Such support will be exclusively directed to all all new schools joining Simoshi’s Project Activity, to reduce the cost of the IICS by 40%, making energy efficiency more accessible and affordable, as schools move away from using traditional 3-stone fires for their daily cooking needs.
