Introducing EcoTrack

Project monitoring is often haphazard and time-consuming. Furthermore, results from monitoring do not always lead to improvement and learning. Now EcoTrack makes project results transparent and easy to use.

Eco Ltd has supported the development of a project to address the energy needs of marginalized communities in Hungary and Slovakia. The project task was to develop a project document (proposal) for funding by UNDP Thematic Trust funds. Eco’s experts called upon their knowledge of the region and sustainable energy in the context of poor communities to produce a high quality and relevant project design.

Eco Ltd are editors and publishers of the journal ‘Boiling Point’, a household energy magazine that provides free and accessible information to practitioners, researchers and users, reaching over 2000 addresses and an estimated readership of 5 times this number worldwide.

Eco carried out some key research into the markets and future potential of a range of cookstoves and fuels in selected Asian and African countries. The research covered both global market trends as well as detailed country analysis

Eco Ltd has developed a Results-Based Monitoring (RBM) system for the Programme for Basic Energy and Conservation (ProBEC).

ProBEC commissioned the RBM system to meet the challenge of collecting high-quality consistent data across many projects and countries in a format that would meet diverse donor reporting requirements and inform the project implementation process.

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.

In a consortium lead by IISD, Eco is assisting GVEP to develop its communications and knowledge strategies and their effectiveness and accessibility in the African context. This includes analysis of networks such as EUEI, PCIA, REEEP, GNSED, LP Gas Challenge, ENERGIA, HEDON, and regional networks such as ARECOP, and AFREPREN.

Eco Ltd co-ordinates the HEDON Household Energy Network, an international forum dedicated to  improving social, economic, and environmental conditions in the South, through the promotion of local, national, regional and international initiatives in the household energy sector.
