BURN, a company focused on designing and distributing high-quality, fuel-efficient cooking stoves in developing regions, is seeking a MRV Country Coordinator to lead monitoring, reporting, and verification efforts in Kenya. The role supports their mission to reduce indoor air pollution, save forests, and improve lives through their locally manufactured stoves. BURN has already impacted over a million people and aims to expand significantly by 2017. This position is critical for tracking the environmental and social benefits of their products in Kenya’s market.
What it offers
This role involves leading the Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) process for BURN’s cookstove projects in Kenya. Key responsibilities include collaborating with local partners, collecting data on stove adoption, fuel savings, emissions reductions, and beneficiary impact, ensuring compliance with BURN’s standards and international reporting frameworks.
