PHKN has been working on promotion of fuel efficient stoves in district Haripur with the assistance of UNDP-GEF SGP. It has achieved remarkable progress in replication of fuel efficient stoves in hilly areas of the district.

It now further proposes following activities to promote market driven approach of the promotion of fuel efficient stoves in three union councils of district Haripur.

Objective 1: Promoting fuel efficient stoves use and market in Haripur through social marketing and entrepreneurship

1. Identify black-smiths and organize their training on making fuel efficient stoves as they can ensure availability of the same in the market. Two training events of two days will be organized.
2. Provision of tool kit to the trained black-smiths. Total ten artisans will be given tool kits.

7. Organize village Melas, hygiene promotion campaigns and sessions on indoor air pollution and mitigation measures in the villages

Objective 2: Develop and strengthen collaborative mechanism for the promotion of climate change mitigation measures in the area

8. Promote culture of tree plantation, particularly the fruit trees in the houses that use fuel efficient stoves
9. Collaboration with Pakistan Forest Institute and institutionalize energy efficiency, reduce deforestation in the area. The collaboration may include joint visits, meetings and support for joint interventions. PHKN will sign and MOU with PFI for promotion of energy efficiency and promotion of non-timer forest products
10. Organize a National Conference on ?Fuel Efficiency: in the wake of climate change, to explore challenges and prospects in the country. The conference may be organized together with Ministry of Climate Change, Pakistan Forest Institute
