Implementing a credible project, that issues high integrity carbon credits means the project developer will thoroughly follow-up the use of the new technology that is replacing the baseline (in this case the 3-stone fires or traditional cooking appliances).
We wanted to share some analytics of the number of visits we have conducted since we first installed the institutional improved cook stoves (IICS) at our first participating school, back in March 2016.
As of today, we have grown to 115 schools (both primary and secondary, day and boarding) that are currently using the IICS of different saucepan capacities to prepare the children’s daily meals.
To ensure these IICS are fully in use, that no other stove models are in place (stacking) or that the school did not go back to their traditional cooking methods, we visit each school at least 6 times every year. Various indicators are collected, with different activities performed, from training of cooks, assessment of the kitchen building and environment, maintenance of the IICS, and collection of children enrollment and firewood expenditure per school term.
This means as of today, our Project Officers have conducted a total of 11,259 physical assessments to all school during the past eight years. The breakdown is shown below and we are extremely proud to share our continuous monitoring of the project’s activities, to ensure 100% confidence that all emission reductions claimed are verifiable and real.
