About
The Tuki Wasi Programme in Peru is the only successful pilot activity carried out by the Climate Cent Foundation in view of the implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. In development since 2017 and in operation since 2019, the programme is aimed at the country’s poorest households and strengthens the Peruvian market for improved cook stoves by means of competitive calls for tenders and standardisation (www.tukiwasi.org)
In November 2021, the Climate Cent Foundation signed a purchase agreement for ITMOs with the programme owner Microsol S.A.S., after a legal framework had been established for the issuance and transfer of such certificates with an implementation agreement signed between Switzerland and Peru in October 2020.
More specifically, the Climate Cent Foundation – and in a downstream transaction the KliK Foundation – will purchase up to 960’000 ITMOs from Microsol until 2030. Up to 60’000 improved cook stoves are to be installed over the period 2022–2025. The Climate Cent Foundation is prefinancing the scaling of the programme and particularly the construction of the stoves with more than half of the contract value.
Current status
Following completion of the pilot phase, in which 1'000 cook stoves were installed according to defined specifications, the actual project started in summer 2022. Three public calls for tenders secured contracts with four companies, which have committed to building 35’000 cook stoves. The Climate Cent Foundation has prefinanced the construction of these cook stoves with EUR 5.53 million. Currently (August 2025), around 32'000 cook stoves are already in operation.
The activity’s authorisation by the two partner states is imminent. Verification is currently being carried out for emission reductions achieved during the period 2022 to 2024.
