Leadership,
Nigeria 13 November 2018

"As part of its outreach projects to tackle the negative effects of heavy
dependence on fuelwood for cooking in rural and urban slums, the United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP) under its Global Environment Facility
(GEF) launched the UNDP-GEF sustainable fuelwood management (SFM) project
to sensitise women on using efficient fuelwood cookstoves to conserve the
environment and preserve their health.

Speaking exclusively to LEADERSHIP at a four-day clean cookstoves’
awareness, sensitization and capacity building workshop convened by the
UNDP-GEF and Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN) in collaboration with the
Centre for Gender and Social Policy Studies, Obafemi Awolowo University,
Ile-Ife and Women Initiative for Sustainable Environment (WISE) in Uvwiama
community, Delta State, a woman leader, Gift Obukowho of Uwiama community
expressed delight that the project was brought to the community to train
them on more sustainable ways of cooking."
