The Dodoma regional commissioner rolled out a program where residents can grab upgraded cookstoves at massively slashed prices because the government is covering 80 percent of the cost. Rosemary Senyamule said people in six districts will pay around 11,200 shillings instead of the usual 56,000 for stoves that burn way less charcoal and firewood, and the Rural Energy Agency is handling distribution through local wards where buyers need to show their national ID.
About 10,660 stoves are getting spread across Kondoa, Bahi, Chemba, Chamwino, Kongwa, and Mpwapwa, with each district getting roughly 1,777 units. The push is part of President Samia Suluhu Hassan's plan to ditch dirty energy sources by 2030, and Tanzania wants 80 percent of households using clean cooking tech within the next decade after she got recognized as a clean cooking champion at a climate summit.
