Dear Stakeholder,

BURN Manufacturing Co. will implement Voluntary Project Activities (VPAs) in Ghana under the Gold Standard Programme of Activities (PoA) ‘ECOA_BURN multi-country Clean Cooking Programme’. The PoA is managed by BURN Manufacturing Co.

In this context a Local Stakeholder Public Consultation will be carried out for all local, affected and interested stakeholders, including non-governmental organizations, women groups, research institutes and organizations/individuals working on topics related to the project activity, policy makers on a national and state level as well as for local people, communities and or representatives who are directly or indirectly affected by the project. Please note that this Local Stakeholder Consultation would be also valid for any other Voluntary Project Activities (VPAs) implemented in Ghana under BURN’s Gold Standard PoA ‘ECOA_BURN multi-country Clean Cooking Programme’, provided that they are homogeneous, i.e. deploy the same stove type(s), target the same end-users and are within the same project boundary.
