3. About the Partnership for Clean Indoor Air
India 2007
Launched at WSSD in 2002.
Now, more than
570 public and private organizations working in 117 countries.
Almost 3 billion people burn solid fuels indoors for home cooking and heating.
More than 1.5 million people, mainly women and children, die prematurely each year from breathing elevated levels of indoor smoke.
Mission: Improve health, livelihood, and quality of life through reduced exposure to indoor air pollution, primarily among women and children, from household energy use in developing countries.
Goal: Increase the use of clean, reliable, affordable, efficient, and safe home cooking and heating practices that reduce IAP exposure

4. Why PCIA?
Almost 3 billion people burn solid fuels indoors for home cooking and heating.
Smoke kills: Worldwide more than 1.5 million people, mainly women and children, die prematurely each year from breathing elevated levels of indoor smoke.
Smoke kills more people than Malaria!
Yet, no woman should die because of daily cooking for her family.

5. PCIA Mission and Goal
Mission: Improve health, livelihood, and quality of life through reduced exposure to indoor air pollution, primarily among women and children, from household energy use in developing countries.

8. PCIA Regional workshops held to date
Kiln building workshops & materials (Uganda, Mauritania)
Regional IAP monitoring workshops (Guatemala, Uganda, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, S. Africa)
Stove design and performance workshops (Philippines, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, China, Indonesia)
Commercialization workshops and technical assistance (Mexico, Honduras, China, Ethiopia, Uganda)
KPT trainings/studies (Nepal, India, Peru)
WBT/CCT trainings (Rwanda, Bangladesh, Laos)
300 participants. Workshops have resulted in more data available on technology performance and intervention impact; an increased number of new improved technologies being promoted; robust business strategies, roll out and monitoring of household energy programs; and commercially viable markets for improved technologies.

16. Reality: Biomass is here to stay.
Tasks ahead for Malawi
96% of the household energy comes from solid biomass
each household uses app. 10 kgs of wood per day
Reality: Biomass is here to stay.
Climate is seriously affected by current biomass use practices. 16

17. Tasks ahead for Malawi
If each household can adopt one of the cleaner cooking technologies which are already available, we could be saving over 50% of the firewood and Malawi cleaner and healthier. 17

18. Issues to address
Biomass is renewable but currently we don‘t manage it appropriately
Smoke is a silent killer in the kitchens,
so we need:
- change in mind-set
- cleaner cooking for 3 Mio HHs
- political buy-in and support
- financial support
- more players to join in these efforts 18
