Countries/Region- Bangladesh
Proposals are invited for Case Studies and Best Practice Research on Empowering Women through Clean Cookstoves Projects in Bangladesh.
It is commonly believed that incorporating women along the improved cookstoves value chain will both increase sales, adoption, and sustained use of clean cookstoves and benefit women in multiple ways, including by providing a new source of employment and income for women as producers, distributors, installers, marketers, entrepreneurs and sales people.
The Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves (the Alliance) is a public-private partnership hosted by the United Nations Foundation to save lives, improve livelihoods, empower women, and combat climate change by creating a thriving global market for clean and efficient household cooking solutions. The Alliance’s ‘100 by ’20’ goal calls for 100 million homes to adopt clean and efficient stoves and fuels by 2020. The Alliance will work with public, private, and non-profit partners to help overcome the market barriers that currently impede the production, deployment, and use of clean cookstoves in the developing world.
