1. FUTURE COOPERTION AND FUNDING

2. BACKGROUND
2012 stove camp
Creation of an information exchange platform and coordination of players in cleaner cooking sector and enable knowledge sharing among stakeholders including an extensive publicity and education campaign for increased adoption of cleaner cookstoves
Initially funded by Irish aid and now EnDev
Plans to make it self sustaining through member subscriptions and various services e.g research work etc

3. Currently
Continued the work on cookstoves database

Populating the website with up to date information on cookstove activities (as far as possible)

HELP YOU OUR STAKEHOLDERS ACHIEVE YOUR TARGETS

5. Challenges According to 2014-2017 Roadmap document and experience
Consumer awareness is low
Industry guidelines were non-existent
Production and distribution networks were not inter-connected
National policies were inadequate

6. Solutions Consumer awareness is low
Technology neutral cleaner cooking awareness campaign entitled “Ndapeza mbambande” to reach all the districts (funds permitting) and work closely with partners to complement their efforts
NCSC through UP & MBAULA formulated coursework for primary school students. The course content is almost complete and will be filtered through after schools clubs
Industry guidelines were non-existent
Decided on 20% thermal efficiency as the basic stove to be accepted and counted towards the 2million by 2020 goal
Since 2013 at CCC we have standardized the chitetezo mbaula
Production and distribution networks were not inter-connected National policies were inadequate
Currently new National energy policy, National Charcoal strategy, Malawi renewable energy strategy, etc

7. Production and distribution networks were not inter-connected
MBAULA network has a database of most production groups in the country
Aims to provide linkages for production groups to existing markets
Regular messages will be sent to production groups to update them on demand in the market and their responses will be forwarded to implementers within the impact areas
Producers are also free to flash or text and advise how many market ready stoves are available on the MBAULA hotline
Should the production groups require retraining etc MBAULA will also link them to implementation partners to facilitated the process this will motivate them to
The connection of these groups to markets coupled with awareness campaign will facilitate us all to reach our target as demand and supply will be close to equilibrium

8. Partnership is key we all have the same aim and can only achieve it if we work as a team
Happy selling
