The Tembea Youth Centre project aims to construct efficient cookstoves for rural communities in Siaya County, Kenya to address the social and environmental impacts of traditional cooking methods that rely on biomass fuels. The project's core elements include building cookstoves, establishing community savings and loan groups, and conducting climate education. Over 6,000 stoves have been constructed so far through the community groups. Challenges include the vast project area and socioeconomic difficulties faced by communities, which the project addresses through flexible financial planning and partnerships with local stakeholders. Lessons learned indicate the importance of integrating microfinance and working with schools and community networks.

- 3. Background information The project aims to construct energy efficient cook stoves for rural communities in the Siaya, County Rural villages such as Siaya, the supply of modern energy carriers such as electricity and fossil fuels is very limited and expensive. In Siaya county only 1.4% of the population use electricity for lighting and only 0.1% for cooking purpose. To meet their basic energy needs households rely on locally available biomass fuels such as firewood and also occasionally charcoal: almost 90% of households use firewood for cooking and 9% use charcoal for preparing their meals.

- 4. Households in Siaya county traditionally cook on open fires consisting of 3 stones, in this way burning large amounts of fuel wood in a very inefficient way. TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 4
- 5. TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 5 This has severe impacts at the social (e.g. health) and environmental levels (e.g. deforestation, CO2- emissions).
- 6. This project aims to mitigate these impacts by introducing energy efficient cook stoves to Siaya communities in Kenya. The efficient cook stove is a biomass rocket stove designed for burning wood and consisting of two cooking units that can be separately fired. The stove is fixed and installed in households TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 6

- 9. Community Savings and Loaning (CSL) Community saving and loaning is a local capital mobilization methodology that seeks to address the unmet needs of the poor households brought about by poverty as well as the existing gap in the major financial services providers like the banks and insurance companies. Savings- led microfinance groups lead to financial and social empowerment of individuals, households and communities, creating a platform for holistic community development on which community-based problem solving flourishes.TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 9
- 10. CS&L Benefits It provides very poor households with effective, low cost means of improving livelihood security. The financial, social and human capital that locals especially women develop through regular saving- led micro-finance group meetings is transferred to an amazing array of actions that result in behavior change. TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 10
- 11. It provides platform for community members to embrace e-banking innovations enhancing financial deepening & stabilizing rural financial markets. These groups use their socio-political and economic positions and group clout to lobby for change and realize a myriad of developmental endeavors for their communities. TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 11
- 12. It provides an opportunity for the poor to acquire essential but costly household assets such as the energy efficient cook stoves out of their long term savings under the ASSET BASED FUND component that the community members are trained and closely monitored to operationalize among the self selected group members. TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 12
- 13. TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 13 It enhances social inclusion among the community members by regularly meeting every week to apart from saving and loaning also brainstorms on the possible ways of uplifting group members to spring economically and possible ways of cushioning members who might be faced with emergencies such as deaths, hospital bills other emergencies that are specified and approved in their self prepared constitution. This is done under the CSL micro-insurance scheme that all the members subscribe to through weekly contribution of a uniform amount of money and collected as the SOCIAL FUND.

- 23. ICS and nature conservation From the FT (Kitchen test) we know that a Tembea stove uses 1.32t of fuel wood per year. With an energy content of fuel wood being 15GJ/t and its being a rocket type stove with thermal efficiency being at most 33%, then potential useful energy in a year is 6.53 GJ (1.32t x 15GJ x 0.33). This energy is delivered in at least 1hour 30min (30 minutes breakfast, 30 minutes lunch time and 30 minutes supper time) a day, which translates to at least 1.971 million seconds in a year. Hence the power rating of the Tembea stove is about 3.3 kW (6.53GJ/1.971 M sec). This is far away less than 150KW thermal power output threshold for technologies under this methodology.

- 27. Baseline and Project non-renewable biomass (NRB) assessment The renewability status of fuel wood has been analysed within Siaya County, which is considered as the plausible collection area for fuel wood in the project. The analysis shows that there is more fuel wood that is used from the available stock within Siaya County than can re-grow. This fraction of non-renewable biomass is calculated as 75.99%. The figure is supported by qualitative figures, which show a high biomass deficit of 72.07% for Nyanza province.TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 27
- 28. Challenges and efforts to address them Need for Structured training: To ensure consistence and quality, the training offered must continue to be monitored and be consistent both in content and approach, providing room for continuous stove improvement. ◦ This requires strategic partnership with institution of higher learning and proportionate investment. TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 28
- 29. challanges Awareness and educational materials: Relative increase in demand for the efficient cookstoves have been observed in the recent past, posing pressure on project scope. Hence, the need for sufficient investment in awareness and education both for users and potential clients – leading to subsequent customer satisfaction.. TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 29
- 30. Challenges TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 30 Vastness of the Project area – As the project moves into full scale, there shall be need for structured and efficient monitoring scheme adopted. Requiring additional motorcycles/vehicle, and field based offices. Socio-economic capacities of target community; the communities targeted by this project, are faced with high poverty levels and high unemployment. A new dimension that is affecting project success is the increase in fossil fuel prices that ends up having an impact in local commodity prices and more so food stuff. This translates to a decline in spending on non food items, consequently leading to late/delayed repayment at CSL groups.
- 31. Key Lessons learnt.. Inherent socio-economic challenges facing communities is not be a hindrance to creating for demand clean household energy, thus, integration of a flexible savings led microfinance forms an integral part with far reaching benefits environmentally, socially, and economically. Flexible project –financial planning and creativity yields results especially when dealing with communities that have pre- arranged seasons and/or activities in the annual calendar.TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 31
- 32. Lessons Learnt… Working with a host of local stakeholders, government agencies and community networks has far reaching impacts and inherent benefits to the project beneficiaries, whereas overcoming systemic obstacles that pose threat to continuation/scaling up- of project such as this. Opportunities for research and development for knowledge dissemination and community basedTEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 32
- 33. Lessons Learnt… Working with schools can yield better results in adaptation of the project ideals, especially with regard to linking activities with climate change and CO2 emissions. More environmental clubs should be established in the schools with catchments in the project areas. TEMBEA YOUTH CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 33
