USAID/CARPE is offering this grant to address critical environmental challenges in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The grant’s primary purpose is to significantly reduce deforestation and forest degradation, which are extensively driven by the widespread reliance on charcoal for daily cooking. This initiative aims to achieve its objective by actively promoting and facilitating the adoption of alternative cooking technologies and sustainable fuel sources within Congolese communities. By shifting away from traditional charcoal use, the program seeks to alleviate pressure on vital forest ecosystems, conserve biodiversity, and contribute to long-term environmental sustainability. This grant is for organizations dedicated to implementing innovative solutions that foster a greener, healthier future for the DRC.
