Some weeks ago, we announced the organization of a local stakeholder consultation in Ouagadougou about the “Save for a stove” project. On December the 6th, some stoves users, improved cookstoves producers, NGO working on environmental issues, microfinance institutions and technical partners met during a morning in order to discuss about the project impacts on sustainable development and about the best way to monitor these impacts. We were very pleased to receive some representatives from the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, from the Ministry of Mines, Quarries and Energy, from Ouagadougou City Council and from a Foundation founding the project.
After a presentation of the “Save for a stove” project and carbon credit mechanisms in French and local language Moore, participants asked some questions and made some suggestions to improve the project. Then, we made an exercise in order to determine the project impacts – both positive and negative – on sustainable development. The meeting ended with a discussion about indicators to monitor in order to assess impacts.
Participants showed a good impression on this relevant consultative method, the effective implication of everybody and the richness of exchanges between participants. Entrepreneurs du Monde is also very glad of the quality of the debate and is sure that they will contribute to improve the activities in the following years.
