The East Africa Stove colloquium was held on 7th June 2011 in Nairobi Kenya. It was a meeting organized under the auspices of the GIZ (formerly German Technical Cooperation- GTZ) sector network for energy in sub Saharan Africa with support from the GIZ headquarters sector initiative for Poverty Oriented Basic Energy (HERA).
Over 70 participants attended the event with representatives of private sector, research institutes, government and NGOs from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania Ethiopia, Burundi, Congo, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Germany, the UK and USA among others.
Opening remarks were made by Ms Felicia Ndungu, Ministry of Agriculture Kenya who emphasized the importance of improved stoves in Kenya’s national development and clear alignment with national goals such as vision 2030. After this, presentations were made by participants on the 5 themes. Detailed presentations are available here. A copy of the programme is provided as an annex to these proceedings.
A variety of methods were used to facilitate interactions between participants. For instance rather than have typical plenary question and answer sessions, time was provided for participants to walk up to presenters in corner discussions where they could get their questions answered at length. This was used during the carbon finance and stove activities in the region sessions. In the case of improved stove testing, research and commercialization, focused group discussions were held and the feedback from the groups is elaborated in these proceedings. The brief comments on the GACC/AACC session are also provided here.
This session gave select participants an opportunity to present their work on improved cook stoves in East Africa. Presentations were made by Millennium Villages, Practical Action, Solar Cookers International, GIZ stove programmes with support of Energising Development funds in East Africa, Envirofit, Tea Vac Machinery Limited, SNV, GIZ Programme supporting refugees in partnership with the United Nations High Commision for Refugees and Tanzania Traditional Energy Development and Environment Organisation.
Participants were then given an opportunity to have individual discussions with the presenters for clarifications.
Participants stated that it is still not clear on membership and benefits that come with the membership. It appears that only big players can benefit since small agencies cannot afford large financial contributions to get substantial recognition. Will the GACC be flexible to publish information on their website and will this be accessible to non members? There needs to be more information about GACC/AACC and how members can benefit.
