About the Organization

VITA/RTI Ethiopia is expanding its dynamic team and seeking talented professionals to join our mission.

Programme Overview

The PACT Programme targets the reduction of pressure on biomass resources by distributing improved energy-saving cooking stoves to households in project areas. Women and children are the primary beneficiaries.

The Programme will utilize a Community-Led Total Stove approach, targeting 45,600 households across six regions and 24 woredas in Southern Ethiopia, Oromia, Amhara, Central Ethiopia, Southwest Ethiopia, and Sidama regions. Each household will receive two stoves—one Mirt and one Efoy stove. Implementation will occur over a three-year period, with woredas selected based on geographical clustering to ensure efficient and effective project management and administration.
