Monitoring the continuous use of the institutional improved cook stoves (IICS) in the schools participating under our Gold Standard registered project is KEY when claiming the emissions reductions.
A lot of indicators are monitored on a monthly basis, and all the information collected is safely stored in an individual file for each school. The information is also captured by our Project Officers on our IT infrastructure called Kenga, so the different parameters can also be viewed live from the Kenga dashboard from anywhere in the world.
The picture below shows all the 117 schools currently participating under our Project Activity. The different colors indicate the year when the IICS were first installed. We started with red, so the bottom shelf are for all schools that started using their IICS back in 2016.
Impressive, right? Because for the past 9 years, we have been continuously monitoring the successful use of the IICS in the schools kitchens, to ensure at least 50% of the firewood is saved when preparing the children’s daily meals.
By the way, the cutie model in the picture is Orly 🐶
