OXFAM CONSULTANCY ON TOT ON FUEL EFFICIENT COOKING STOVE AND ALTERNATIVE COOKING FUEL SOURCE (BRIQUETTES) IN ADAMAWA AND KEBBI STATES
ORGANIZATION: OXFAM
CLOSING DATE 16 DEC 2020
PROACT has distributed with planting of over 900,000 tree seedlings in Adamawa and Kebbi states and launched a #OP4T (One person 4 tree) campaign, discouraging falling down of trees for firewood. However, in Nigeria, rural households rely majorly on firewood for cooking. These households still cook primarily on three-stone open fires, just as they have done for many of years. They primarily use large branches and logs that are unsustainably harvested from surrounding forests and wooded areas of agricultural lands, a major driver of deforestation all throughout 36 states of Nigeria.
