Advanced Cooking Technologies and (iii) Component 3 – TA & Capacity Building, Design &
Supervision Consultant, and Project Audit.
The Clean Cooking Component will employ results-based financing (RBF) to improve the affordability of
cookstoves for the most vulnerable populations. The overall objectives of this RBF program, are to reduce
the cost of cookstoves, ensuring adoption by more households and attracting more private sector players
