Integrated Approach to Sustainable Cooking Solutions Charcoal is a primary source of energy for cooking in Tanzania with 60.5% of urban households using it. Unsustainable production and utilization of charcoal result in wide-spread environmental damages and is a key driver of forest degradation and partly contributing to deforestation. Increased demand for charcoal is driven by rapid urbanization and high relative prices, scarcity or unavailability of alternative fuels. The overall objective of the action is to contribute to reduced climate change impact in Tanzania. The specific objectives are to increase production of sustainable wood-fuel in rural areas and increase usage of modern and clean cooking solutions in urban areas.
