Project Summary
Project rationale, objectives, outcomes/outputs, and activities. 
This proposed project builds upon previous and ongoing research & development work under the Building and Construction Improvement Program (BACIP) of the Aga Khan Planning and Building Services Pakistan (AKPBS-P). The project is meant to bring the initial R&D experience towards a push for full market development. This will be promoted through addressing the key remaining barriers with regards to: low level of awareness, limited local entrepreneurial capacities, access to micro-finance, the absence of an enabling environment conducive to investments in energy efficient cooking, heating and housing construction and technology, the lack of a comprehensive supply-demand structure-related to the development of supply chain structures essential to ensure the provision of EE products and technologies in residential units and finally the lack of an easily accessible information and technical repository for reference.
The goal of the project is the reduction of the GHG emissions from unsustainable uses of wood for building and energy purposes in the Northern Areas and Chitral in Pakistan. The project objective is improved household economies and health in the Northern Areas and Chitral through efficient use of wood products, together with reduced emissions of local and global pollutants. This main objective will be achieved through: (1) Improving local awareness and capacity for installing energy efficient cooking, heating and housing products and technologies; (2) Institutional capacity building and support to mainstreaming energy efficient products and technologies into local and national level building codes and standards, together with relevant support measures, as well as rural and regional development plans, strategies and programs; and, (3) Enhancing the growth of rural enterprise and income generation from community service providers through the replication of integrated EE products and technology application packages.
Key indicators, assumptions, and risks 
Key indicators are described as follows: 
Annual CO2 emissions reduction of 11,088 tons from pilot households (2,100 HHs)
Annual CO2 emissions of 158,400 tons from replications (30,000 HHs), compared to the business as usual scenario.
HH expenditures on fuel wood in pilot villages of the Northern areas and Chitral, reduced by US$160 per season
