Dear Stakeholder,  

ECOA Climate Capital (“ECC”) is pleased to invite you to a Local Stakeholder Consultation (“LSC”) meeting for its planned Voluntary Project Activities (“VPAs”) in the Republic of Uganda. These VPAs will seek certification under the Gold Standard Programme of Activities (“PoA”)”ECC_Multi-country Electric Clean Cooking Programme”.  

The objective of the VPAs  is to provide access to modern cooking technologies to end-users across Africa through deployment of electric and metered cookstoves, hence reducing or displacing woody biomass consumption for households, institutions and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). 

In this context the LSCs will be carried out to provide key project design information and to solicit feedback on the same from a varied cross section of stakeholders. These include local community members, non-governmental organizations, women groups, research institutes policy makers at the National and County level. Please note that this Local Stakeholder Consultation would be also valid for any other Voluntary Project Activities (VPAs) implemented in Uganda under ECOA Climate Capital Gold Standard PoA “ECC_Multi-country Electric Clean Cooking Programme”, provided that they are homogeneous, i.e., deploy the same stove type(s), target the same end-users and consist of the same project boundary.  

ECOA Climate Capital (Coordinating and Managing Entity of the PoA) invites all interested parties to attend one of the following Local Stakeholder Consultation meetings. Stakeholders who cannot physically attend have the possibility to participate online through zoom:
