Description: idama Multipurpose Cook Stove Distribution Project is a small scale project activity that disseminates fuel saving stoves for coffee farmers in Aleta Wondo, Dara and Dale districts, of Sidama region, Ethiopia. The project is located the area where high quality Arabica coffee is produced that needs shade for proper growth and high yield. The coffee forest is degrading over time due to population pressure on the forest and increasing demand of fire wood. Rural communities use traditional open fire cooking that consume huge amount of wood and is the major cause for indoor pollution and deforestation. Baseline assessment in the project boundary indicated that coffee farmers are dependent on open fire stoves for cooking and backing. The technology has low efficiency (less than 10%) and consumes more fuel wood and has multiple social, economic and environmental negative impacts. This project aimed to replace the baseline technologies by multipurpose cook stoves and reduce the amount of fuel consumption by half. Multipurpose cook stoves have thermal efficiency of 32.34%. The stove will reduce the amount of fuel wood consumed for cooking thereby reduces GHG emissions, deforestation, and improve the health condition of the farmers. The new project "Sidama Multipurpose Improved cook stove distribution project” is included as VPA-1 in the program of activities (PoA) GS 12544 “Horn of Africa Energy Efficient Technology Distribution Programme of Activity (HoA-EETD-PoA)" and will be implemented in Sidama Regional states. MICS is produced from locally available materials such as sand/mud and will be used for injera baking and cooking. It has three heating zones: a big one for baking injera and a two small one for cooking sauces (figure.1). Smoke is directly released to the outside via a chimney installed on the stove. It is locally manufactured in using metal molds. The average lifetime of MICS is about five to seven years. The project's boundaries will take into account a number of communities which are the members of the coffee cooperatives in the districts that is being targeted for the spread of MICS efficient cook-stoves. Since the objective of this project is to reduce deforestation and land degradation by improving energy efficiency in the face of climate change in Ethiopia and in the region, it therefore allows the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. This project will increase the capacity to reduce CO2 emissions by more than 50%. The MICS efficient cookstove is significantly more efficient (thermal efficiency 32.34%) than the traditional open fire three stone cooking method. The project will thus help reduce wood consumption by more than half in each household and therefore preserve the local forests and improve coffee quality. This will also help combat the ever-increasing threat of deforestation in the area. The MICS efficient cookstove has further benefits like the reduction of harmful smoke in the local rural village households and the reduction of time spent in collecting wood.
