ADES Solar and efficient stoves in Madagascar

Inside the project

The project provides solar cookers and efficient wood stoves for cooking to people in the south of Madagascar, the former province of Tuléar. The registry description states that this reduces wood fuel and charcoal consumption and so lowers the pressure on the valuable forests of the region.

The registry description says the cookers are subsidised to make them affordable, and that training programmes, cooking demonstrations, workshops and publicity programmes are planned to introduce the new way of cooking. The registry snapshot the hub holds (VROD v2026-08) lists GS464 as a Gold Standard Certified Project with the developer myclimate Foundation.
