Project M233 Empowerment Promoting the independence of retailers ALL PROJECTS 01 Context More than 90 per cent of Madagascar’s population still cooks using wood or charcoal. This leads to massive deforestation, high CO₂ emissions and health problems caused by indoor smoke. The sale of ADES stoves not only provides resellers with an income, but also helps to protect the climate and public health. However, many resellers themselves live in precarious circumstances and require targeted support to run their businesses successfully. 02 Executive Summary Project M233 – Empowerment: Helping Resellers Become Self-Sufficient strengthens ADES’s nationwide distribution network in Madagascar and specifically promotes the economic self-sufficiency of resellers, particularly women. The income impact is complemented by measurably enhanced entrepreneurial, commercial and digital skills. Key levers for impact include a fair margin policy, structured training and further education, the gradual digitalisation of sales, and targeted measures to boost visibility and motivation within the reseller network. The project is being implemented across all 24 regions of Madagascar and combines economic empowerment with climate and health protection through the widespread distribution of clean cooking solutions. Impact is continuously recorded and actively managed via ADES’s monitoring system. 03 Outcomes The M233 project strengthens the economic independence of resellers across Madagascar – particularly women. Fair margins, training, and long-term support generate stable additional income and new economic prospects. Many resellers invest their earnings in small businesses, agriculture, education, or the expansion of their sales activities. This sustainably improves the financial resilience of entire households. At the same time, the project contributes to the nationwide dissemination of clean cooking solutions and combines local income generation with climate, health, and forest conservation. Timeline The project is proposed for the period January 2026 to December 2028 and forms part of a long-term commitment running until 2030. Support ADES Launch 2012 Pilot-Project Reseller network established; informal structures and limited support. Milestone 1 2021 Integration Empowerment becomes a strategic core programme for ADES Milestone 2 2026-2028 Consolidation Recruitment: 15–20 new resellers annually, with a focus on remote regions (≥ 60 per cent women) Scaling 2030 Outlook Target: 160,000 cookstoves per year, reaching communities across Madagascar Project M233 Voices from the Project “Since I started selling ADES products, my standard of living has improved significantly. I have grown in my role. I sell around 45 OLIs per month. Thanks to the extra income, after saving for a while I was able to buy a motorbike. ” Madame Laurena (Tsaramandroso, Boeny Region) ALL PROJECTS Any questions ?
