About UNACC:
Uganda has a population of 31 million people with 87% living in rural
areas and relying almost exclusively (96%) on biomass for cooking. 90% of them
do not have an improved cook stove or clean fuel, which means they suffer from
indoor air pollution, spend many hours of the day looking for fuels, and have
high expenses in fuel costs.
areas and relying almost exclusively (96%) on biomass for cooking. 90% of them
do not have an improved cook stove or clean fuel, which means they suffer from
indoor air pollution, spend many hours of the day looking for fuels, and have
high expenses in fuel costs.
To target these deficits, in 2007, the Government of Uganda developed
the Renewable Energy Policy, which aimed to increase the use of modern
renewable energy from 6% to 61% by 2020. This policy highlights the need for
mass adoption of improved cook stoves and clean fuels to reduce demand for
biomass energy resources. The Government is also developing a Biomass Energy
Strategy (BEST) with a focus on increasing use of efficient biomass energy
technologies.
