As the world desperately eyes to reduce emissions and save trees, the World Food Programme has launched a multi million dollar project to distribute fuel efficient stoves in Africa where over 80% of the population still rely on firewood and charcoal for cooking. The ‘safe stoves’ project has been launched by the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon at the sidelines of the ongoing climate negotiations in Copenhagen Denmark. Emmanuel Okella reports that the project is being started in Sudan and Uganda.
