Turkana County Government has partnered with the USAID-sponsored BOMA Project to supply 10,950 people in the devolved unit with clean and energy-efficient cooking stoves.
According to USAID BOMA Programmes Manager Simon Wangu, the partners agreed to jointly implement beneficiary mapping, user sensitization, and staff capacity building to ensure the sustainability of knowledge transfer.
He said the program will be rolled out after joint community engagement meetings with the county government in the coming months.
The program will also adopt a cluster mapping system to identify beneficiaries across the county.
“Together with the County, we will supply 2,800 clean cooking stoves to the community cluster to promote the uptake and utilisation of clean energy at the household level,” Wangu said.
