Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

The project consists in technical assistance and limited investments to scale up the current production of Improved Cook Stoves (ICS) in Kenya and Senegal, ensure product quality, support marketing activities, and develop awareness to augment the adoption of ICS by households, with the aim to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from domestic cooking, an very important contributor to GHG emissions in these countries. The project also intends to generate knowledge which can be used to replicate these results to the many similar countries where cooking is an important contributor to GHG emissions.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF GREEN CLIMATE FUND 

The Independent Redress Mechanism (IRM) addresses complaints by people who believe they are negatively affected or may be affected by projects or programmes funded by the Green Climate Fund (GCF). The complainant can raise issues related to any of GCF’s policies and procedures, including those relating to social and environmental issues, indigenous peoples, gender, and information disclosure, among others. If you submit a complaint to the IRM, it may seek to address the issues raised by facilitating problem solving or conducting a compliance process. You can learn more about the Independent Redress Mechanism and how to file a complaint at https://irm.greenclimate.fund/.
