TaTEDO – Tanzania Traditional Energy Development and Environmental Organization

31/01/2008 // Through the ‘Integrated Modern Energy Services for Sustainable Development and Poverty Reduction’ programme TaTEDO aims at up-scaling access to modern energy technologies and services in both rural and urban areas of nineteen districts in eight regions of Tanzania. TaTEDO’s overall objective is to contribute to poverty reduction and environmental conservation. The organization aims to improve beneficiaries’ lives through reduced energy costs and cleaner, more efficient and sustainable energy sources.

TaTEDO will organize several training sessions, and arrange awareness raising workshops throughout the programme area. These activities are expected to lead to some of the following outputs: increased use of improved cooking fuels, efficient wood fuel stoves, promotion of the transition to modern energy sources, aforestation, improved livelihoods particularly for women (due to reduced health risk with more efficient stoves – less respiratory diseases from smoke), improved access to alternative energy sources, promotion of small scale business ideas, improved access to credit facilities etc.
