Clean cooking solutions: This impact evaluation looks at the deployment of clean cooking solutions (CCS). Despite its potential benefits to improve health and decrease greenhouse gas emissions, penetration of clean cooking solution technologies is very low especially in Terai region. To mitigate the impact of climate change and strengthen resilience of the most vulnerable communities to adapt, Alternative Energy Promotion Center (AEPC) implements "Mitigating GHG emission through modern, efficient and climate friendly clean cooking solutions (CCS)." The evaluation focuses on assessing the impacts of this technology on the reduction of GHG emission as well as its impact on well-being of target population. The study also sheds light on the importance of awareness and outreach to enhance demand for CCS.
