As part of the follow up of the Training of Trainers (ToTs) under the Climate Action for Improved and Sustainable Livelihoods (CAISL) Project being implemented in Nebbi district, a team from Joint Energy and Environment Projects (JEEP) and Uganda Coalition for Sustainable Development (UCSD) made a visit to the project area. The team visited the Yellow Power Women‟s group in Koch, comprising 30 members have constructed 12 energy saving stoves in 12 households. The group members are mobilized by their chairperson Margaret Ocida, to construct energy saving stoves for each member of the group.
My daughter likes cooking on the new stove as the coking environment is smoke-free, and the kitchen is safe to work in‟, Margret Ocida noted as she took the JEEP and UCSD through the progress made by Yellow Power Women‟s group. She added that the group is planning to scale up the use of the hay basket cooker alongside the successful stove dissemination, through a scheduled training for group members by JEEP staff on one of the Sundays, when they hold their weekly meetings.
