of 500,000 household-size cookstoves.

With a $5.5 m budget, comes to $11 per stove, presumably including
implementation fees and M&E to verify fNRB.  Looks like they carry GPS
trackers.

Said to have life span of 3-5 years, which seems rather low for a cast-iron

At roughly $20 per 15 kg cylinder and 7 million households, looks like
there will be a lot of stacking if 5 million households use charcoal. Wood
users extra. (See the UNDP report.)
