The Project Description
The efforts of MECS and TaTEDO-SESO on clean cooking solutions in Tanzania have provided testimony of how Electric Pressure Cookers (EPCs) have enabled transitions to efficient electric cooking. One of the main constraints observed from the community perspective is the low adoption of efficient electric cooking by using EPCs. Using Electric Pressure Cookers (EPCs) in households is a new opportunity in Tanzania's emerging modern energy cooking sector. The result of low awareness of communities can be observed through the extent to which communities still use wood-fuel cookstoves.
This project focused on raising awareness and promotion of highly efficient clean cooking electric appliances (EPCs in particular) to stakeholders and the public to raise demand and adoption of highly efficient electric pressure cookers in different communities and the public at large, especially in areas with grid electricity but still cooking with woodfuels.
The awareness campaigns through mass media were implemented nationwide but demonstrations and showcases were performed in selected project areas with high potential for EPC market development.
