It is expected that in most cases, the grant recipients will receive some form of equipment for use in their day-to-day life or in their work, which will be an improvement on what they currently use. They will receive this equipment free of charge or at a subsidised cost. For example, they may receive an improved cookstove to use for cooking.
After the first 12 months of the project when the first verification occurs, we will learn about actual financial impacts as cookstove recipients are asked about the extent to which they used the cookstove and the difference it has made to them financially. The same will be the case for other projects as they are introduced.
In the case of the improved cookstoves project in India, as well as CO2 reduction, there are additional benefits:
- It significantly reduces the amount of time women and girls spend collecting firewood.
- It reduces the amount of indoor air pollution and the incidence of respiratory diseases.
- It reduces the rate of local deforestation and promotes local biodiversity.
