The Drylands Development Programme (DryDev) was designed to provide relevant, contextually appropriate support to smallholder farmers to contribute to wider sustainable rural development. DryDev provided training on techniques for making energy-saving stoves using clay to 997 farmers in 83 villages in the regions of Sikasso. Following these trainings and other awareness-raising activities, a total of 1,382 energy-efficient stoves were constructed across the ten sub-catchments were DryDev intervenes.
