Fuel Use Distribution in Peru
27.5 million and 6.75 million household (INEI, 2007 census)
Use of Solid Fuel in Peru (INEI, 2007 census)
Use by about 2.5 million HH and 84.3% do not use chimney
Background
Not Certified Improved
Stoves have been tested
since 2001
Several institutions have
been involved: Juntos,
Sembrando, GTZ, USA-
ID,
Tests showed that these
Stoves could reduced
exposures to indoors
pollutants
Limited evaluations on
health benefits

Start of the National Program
June 2009, to install 500,000
Certified Improved Stoves by
12/2011
Set to comply with Millennium
Development Objectives for
Energy and Poverty Alleviation
Targeting poor households at
high altitudes to improve health
and reduce poverty
Base on reducing exposure to
indoor pollutants and income
opportunities from building
stoves and sale of carbon credits
Target Populations
Poor families defined by local
standards on accessibility to
basic services and human
development.
Basic services include: water,
sewage, electricity
Human development:
illiteracy of women 15 yrs+,
% of children 0-12 yrs. old
and malnutrition on the high
of children 6-9 yrs. old.

Program Support
Legal means to fund stoves
and sewage disposals at
local and regional levels
(DU 069-2009, 27/06/09)

by SENCICO, in Lima (DS
015-2009, 15/08/09)
Means to reach, educate
and communicate with
families at all levels (local,
regional, national)

Strategic Alliances

the program and prepares
monthly reports on Program
Development
Technical Support
Area: CIAS GTZ
coordinate and
help institutions to

process and
certification
5.- Education
and
communications
6.- Follow
up
1.- Diagnostic
of the situation
2.- Assistance to

alliances
Program Monitoring and Evaluation
In charge of GTZ Peru
To design of a participating
Process for Monitoring and
Evaluation
Provides on-site supervision;
promotes the build of quality
stoves, their use and
maintenance and evaluates
stove benefits
Has prepared stove building
manuals, guidelines to train
local providers and beneficiaries

Education and Technical Support
Training and
educational material are
available.
Promotion of local
expertise and materials
to build stoves creating
income opportunities
At each community
there are controls to
identified stove builders
and beneficiaries

Development of Local Capabilities
Train local Governments
and Institutions on getting
funding and secure
alliances
Identify and train
individuals to build and
provide combustion
chambers and chimneys
Identify and train local
stove builders and
installers and work with
stove beneficiaries
Requirements for Stove Certification
Open to those interested in building
an Improved Stove for the Program
Certification request addressed to
SENCICO in Lima
Including design drawings,
maintenance needs, in-use
requirements and type of fuel,
building materials, instruction for
setting on fire and stoves operation
A stove prototype must be built in
SENCICO capable to undergo the
Certification Process
