The team traveled to Cajamarca to carry out the fourth carbon monitoring of the year.
On November 14, our team traveled to the Cajamarca region to develop the last carbon monitoring of the year 2024 of Tuki Wasi, a program managed by the Ruru Tarpuy Association in collaboration with Microsol. The objective of this trip was to train and supervise the field surveyors of the EACys team, one of our local operators. Together we visit homes of users of installed Improved Cookstoves of the program and collect information on the environmental, social and economic impacts of this.
Our technical team provided surveyors with constant training on the use of the application developed by Microsol for the collection of data, as well as reminding them of the communication protocols with the end users. We also closely supervised the visits to the homes to ensure the correct development of each programmed activity for one week.
During this monitoring, homes were visited in several communities of Cajamarca where the program is operating, such as Choropampa, Cumbico, La viña, La fila Choropampa, Chancay, El Puquio, among others.
This monitoring is conducted periodically to gather the information necessary for our technical team to evaluate the progress of the program in terms of emission reductions, fuelwood use, and the socioeconomic and health benefits of continued use of the improved cookstoves.
About Tuki Wasi
Tuki Wasi is the first Improved Cookstove program in the South American region under the International Transfer Mitigation Outcomes (ITMO) mechanism under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement. This pioneering program is being developed thanks to the bilateral agreement between Switzerland and Peru and plans to install 40,000 cookstoves in Peru, benefiting thousands of families in rural communities vulnerable to climate change.
