Following their application for funding in September of last year, the businesses were chosen as part of the EU-funded CookFund Program, which focuses on clean cooking technologies, primarily liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), electric pressure cookers (EPC), improved charcoal stoves (ICS), briquettes, and bioethanol.
6 energy businesses in Tanzania have received grants totaling €1.3 million (Sh3.2 billion) from a program supported by the European Union to help them give clean cooking options to both urban and rural inhabitants.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Makamba advised the award recipients to make sure they use the funds granted to them per the program’s goals to help more Tanzanians.
