Facing the Charcoal Problem in Haiti |
A Conference on Cooking Stoves & Fuel in Haiti
Thursday January 21, 2010*
9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Hotel du Roi Christophe
Cap Haitien, Haiti |
 |
Overview:
A meeting for practitioners in cooking stoves/fuels in Haiti and other
interested parties. We will start with a quick review of charcoal use
and production in Haiti, and its impacts on land use and deforestation,
in order to define the scope of the problem. Discussion will then dive
into technical, agricultural, and financial solutions, the
implementation challenges of each and how those challenges might be
addressed.
The conference is intended to identify practice areas currently lacking sufficient resources to be successful,
potential partnerships, and opportunities for greatest impact.
Details:
Initial focus areas:
- Stoves (technology and products)
- Fuels and Fuels processing (technology and products)
- Dissemination strategies / Awareness build-up / Financing
- Organizational Focus and Coverage Areas
Participants are asked to come with the following:
- a list of what they need and what they offer
(funding, technology, products, distribution, training, carbon financing, etc)
- a list of lessons learned to date
- samples for display/demonstration
Lunch will be served.
* An informal second day will be spent in the field learning about
bio-briquette manufacture, visiting a local home to see haitian cooking
in action, and hopefully some demonstrations of improved cookstoves.
