Brief overview on progress of the scale up of the CleanCook (CC) Stove program in Kebribeyah Refugee Camp in Ethiopia. Outline of program implementation process thus far and impact of program on protection issues and policy priorities reflects participant satisfaction with reduction in firewood need and improvement in security, education, health, and livelihood of women and girls. Recommendations for future improvements and alterations to the program include an acceleration of the scale up process to prevent bribery during the selection of households process, the addition of a tree planting program, the development of income generation activities for women, and a comprehensive assessment following program completion in 2007.

Gaia Association and UNHCR distributed a total of 150 ethanol-burning CleanCook (CC) stoves to 150 refugee households at Shimelba Camp in Tigray, Ethiopia for this pilot study.  The evaluation of the project is based on quantitative and qualitative data collected from 99 households. The results of comprehensive energy profiles of 50 households demonstrated a reduction of at least 42% in the amount of fuelwood collected by refugees compared to previous levels prior to introduction of the CC stove. Based on participant satisfaction and level of reduction in fuelwood collection, Gaia Association and UNHCR have proposed project scale up at Shimelba and another UNHCR camp.
