The Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project (KOSAP) has embarked on testing cookstoves and clean cooking technologies in two counties under the Project.

The move is in tandem with International Standard for testing cookstoves to ensure that the cookstoves sold in these counties meet the high-quality standards.

The cookstove testing initiative is being implemented under KOSAP’s Clean Cooking Solutions Challenge Results-Based Facility (CCS RBF).

The CCS RBF is a Ksh 500 million incentive fund established as a subcomponent of KOSAP to establish sustainable supply chains of higher tier cookstoves and cleaner cooking fuels in KOSAP Service Territories (KSTs), where at present, the use of clean, and efficient cookstoves is low. International Standards for testing cookstoves will be used to ensure that the cookstoves sold in these counties meet high-quality standards.
