Project Background
Access to modern energy is a prerequisite for social and economic development, and to achieving many of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Through SNV’s project and programmes, we address the negative social, economic, environmental, gender, and health implications of traditional cooking in rural Cambodia. The use of biomass for cooking fuel and associated smoke exposure contributes to serious health problems, leading to the death of 14,000 people in Cambodia per year.
SNV promotes through market based approaches, the dissemination of efficient artisan cookstoves for firewood, as well as the accelerates the transition from firewood to clean cooking fuels. SNV enhances awareness, activates demand, and builds capacity of local and national institutions aligned with Cambodia’s National Energy Efficiency Policy, its National Determined Contributions, and Health Plans and others.
