Abstract: In conformity with GCF?s environmental and social policy dated March 2018, an environmental and social assessment has been conducted for project ?Promotion of Climate-Friendly Cooking in Kenya and Senegal?, submitted by GIZ to the Green Climate Fund (GCF). 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. The project will be implemented in both countries by national EnDev teams, who have several years of experience in promoting improved cook stoves and a good network of institutional as well as nongovernmental partners, in cooperation with so-called local Executing Entities (EEs). The project is expected to be implemented in 2020-2024.
