Training and orientation on Improved Cooking Stove and Entrepreneurship Skill Development Project

Funding Agency/Donor: GIZ/REEEP Project

Brief Description of project

SOLVE-Nepal in partnership with GIZ/REEEP project implemented “Training and orientation on Improved Cooking Stove and entrepreneurship skill Development Project” which focused to support AEPC’s Provincial/ Local Level in developing tools and standard processes for the access of the RE baseline, energy baseline, energy planning and undertake RE resource mapping. The main objective of this project was to create regularity, institutional and private–sector conditions for disseminating renewable energy and improving Energy Efficiency (EE) in Nepal. SOLVE-Nepal under this project provided TOT to 90 stove masters from 30 Rural Municipalities of Koshi Province in collaboration with respective local governments which ultimately was significant for promotion of improved cooking stoves.

Improved Cooking Stove introduced as appropriate technology comprised of improved burner system that limited the emission of smoke and contributing in reduction in use of firewood. The training conducted included the theoretical, practical and observation and learning sessions for effective and efficient learning.

Project Area

Dhankuta, Bhojpur, Shankhuwasabha, llam, Pachthar, Udayapur, Khotang, Okhaldhunga and Solukhumbu

Focus of project

Sustainable Natural Resource Management and Climate and Energy: Improved Cooking System

Major activities

  • SOLVE-Nepal under this project provided TOT to 90 stove masters from 30 Rural Municipalities of Koshi Province in collaboration with respective local governments (Practical +Theoretical)
  •  One day workshop on officials of local government (5 Clusters)
  •  Demonstration of ICS (Household and Institutional)

Methodology

The methodology of the training was practical and some theoretical knowledge. The new technology of this ICS was, the use of burner, so that less smoke and less firewood consumption was possible.

Demonstration of varieties of ICS

MUD ICS (HOUSEHOLDS AND INSTITUTIONAL) The ICS introduced with burner was made from mud, stone and also from bricks, which is available in the area. So, it was much comfortable to construct. The ICS was technically very efficient for 2 and 3 hole, as per the need of household.

This burner ICS developed by Matri Bhumi was also possible to make bigger for the use of cattle feed and processing of Nepali paper raw materials.

The participants was selected from the cluster manager of GIZ and recommended by the Rural Municipality, which was inclusive with all caste and gender so that targeted household can achieve the services. The trainees have the capacities to do the repair and maintenance work of all type of ICS. All trainees have been trained and capacity built on relation between ICS and Health, Knowledge of other biomass

Energy Technologies, Role of ICS for environment and forest conservation, kitchen management ICS & GESI issues. In the end of the training programme Deputy Country Director Mr. Binod Shrestha and GIZ personnel from Biratnagar and Kathmandu also attended in the events of training.
