Promoting Sustainable Business Models for Clean Cookstoves Dissemination in Honduras

The PROFOGONES project is supported by the Scaling-up Renewable Energy in Low-Income Countries Program (SREP) of the Climate Investment Funds (CIF), and the InterAmerican Development Bank (IDB), through its Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF). It was designed to structure a sustainable, private clean cookstove market that would respond to the needs of the rural, urban and suburban populations. Designed in 2013, the project intends to: improve clean cookstove quality and performance; strengthen clean cookstove enterprises and the supply chain; increase access to cookstove finance; enhance demand through marketing, promotion and awareness raising; create a knowledge and dissemination platform.
