RDIS launches “Kitchen Performance Test two"
- Details
The Cooking Stove Project Rusizi-Rwanda (CSPRR) goes into the next round. A small delegation of RDIS staff, led by the Project Manager Vincent Minani, went to Rusizi to continue with the ongoing distribution phase of 120 improved cooking stoves.
The project is following the guidelines of CCER and is designed as a scale up. RDIS is aiming to fulfill many different goals, which were discussed during the “Local Stakeholders Consultation Meeting", like protecting members of the household from different eye diseases caused by smoke.
RDIS scales up its project for distribution of Improved Cook Stoves in Rwanda!
- Details
RDIS organization is proud to present its newest partnership with CANOPY ENERGIES SAS for its scale-up project for distribution of cookstoves in Rwanda.
Together with CANOPY ENERGIES SAS, which pledges to fight global warming by focusing on producing clean energy and reducing carbon emissions, we plan to distribute 50,000 Improved Cook Stoves to all eligible households in the Rusizi district in Western Rwanda over the next 2 years.
Providing households with improved cook stoves reduces the wood consumption by a factor 2.5, and thus limits the emissions of greenhouse gases due to cooking. This project alone should prevent the emission of 700,000 tCO2eq over the next 7 years. Clean cooking solutions also significantly reduce the smoke in households, improving health conditions.

About the project:
Climate-Smart Agriculture project was developed and is being implemented by RDIS organisation together with two dioceses of the Anglican church of Rwanda, namely Shyogwe and Cyangugu. The project is implemented in two phases, starting with Cyangugu diocese. It is meant to address the adverse effects of climate change, such as land degradation, deforestation, lower food production, unemployment etc, while also complementing the nation's efforts in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Rwanda.
The general objective of this project is therefore to increase farmer's productivity by introducing the use of solar-powered irrigation farming and greenhouses technologies, as well as to enhance environmental protection in the communities by providing training on field to 200 households in Nyamiyaga sector and 200 households in Kamembe sector.
