Introduction:
GERES is a non-profit NGO (France) working since 1976 on innovative and sustainable development projects in France and in eight African and Asian countries. GERES teams are particularly involved in the implementation of engineering solutions, for development and providing specific technical expertise for environmental conservation, climate change mitigation and adaptation, reducing energy poverty, and improving the livelihoods of the poor.
Objective:
GERES has more than 15 years experience in implementing, monitoring large scale dissemination of Improved Cook Stove (ICS) in the heart of South East Asia- Cambodia. This know-how can be replicated both regionally and internationally:
– number of disseminated stoves (over 1, 4 million since 2004),
– important technical efficiency gains,
– effective supply chain and monitoring organization,
– solid market share and local jobs,
– action to reduce deforestation and positive impact on health.
We aim to learn from others’ experience and share our expertise in engineering & management solutions for effective rural energy use, local economic development and environmental gains.
Your participation is requested to identify the current expertise and needs of your ICS dissemination programs in order to establish a network of experts and professional “turnkey” services for the global ICS market.
Thank you!
