Eco Ltd. Secures 1 000 000 USD Grant for Removal of Barriers to Energy Efficiency in the Biomass Sector in Kenya - 19 March 2006

Great strides in energy efficiency, energy conservation, and renewable energy are soon to be realized in Kenya with the recent awarding of a grant by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) to a project developed by Eco, Ltd., jointly with local parties, and on behalf of the United Nations Development Programme.

Eco Ltd conceived the idea of a network where pro-development persons and organisations talk and learn from each other in June 2000.

Eco Ltd prepared a project brief for a medium scale project (MSP) for GTZ-ProBEC for submission to UNDP-GEF. The project aims to "Remove barriers to Biomass Energy Conservation in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and institutions in the Southern African Development Community (SADC)". Eco provided leadership in country data collection in Lesotho, Namibia, Malawi, and Zimbabwe and provided back-stopping for local consultants who collected data in Mozambique and South Africa.

Eco Ltd provides knowledge management expertise for the Renewable energy partnership for nd enterprise development. The project aims to build institutional capacity and source technical assistance in sustainable energy. As the knowledge managing partner, Eco has created and maintained the website for the programme.

 Eco Ltd worked with partners including ENERGIA and ITDG-EA to develop the "Turning Information into Empowerment" (TIE-ENERGIA) project. The project is designed to help distil information that has been developed and that continues to be developed in the field of energy and gender, into knowledge that can be used to catalyse change. It concerns several African countries (Botswana, Kenya, South Africa, Mali) and it aims at strengthening the African Gender and Energy Network by increasing awareness and skills in gender and energy issues.
