Efficient Cooking in Tanzania - EfCoiTa project is a cooperation of the German NGO Engineers without Borders Germany (EWBG) and the Tanzanian NGO Community Habitat Environmental Management (CHEMA). It focus on the technical improvement of different ICS and their distribution inside Kagera region, Tanzania. A self-feeding stove distribution requires people's empowerment, end user’s acceptance and educational advertising. EfCoiTa project wants to face these challenges.
We are open to any cooperation - please contact us.

Clean Cooking Activities
EfCoiTa deals with different ICS designs, as pulverised fuel batch stoves - Sawdust stove, different TLUD designs and Rocket stoves for domestic and institutional application. The stove improvement follows the test methods, Water Boiling Test, Controlled Cooking Test and the Kitchen Performance Test, combining scientific development approaches and the involvement of end users and their perspectives. A population survey was used to identify social-cultural cooking habitats, ICS needs and existent ressources.
Seminars and demonstrations in environmental and ICS relevant issues and in-service training shall involve the community to comply with the requirements for a sustainable stove market. The EfCoiTa project focus currently a commercial distribution approach inside a two years project framework. The EfCoiTa project was till now entirely funded by the Heidehof foundation, Germany.
