Africa Biogas and Clean Cooking Conference

The coordinator of the RedBioLAC network, which is supported by WISIONS, will participate in the Africa Biogas and Clean Cooking Conference. It will take place from 5th to 7th April 2016 at Elilly International Hotel in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Hivos, SNV Netherlands Development Organisation and the Ministry of Water, Irrigation and Electricity in Ethiopia are organising, in cooperation with the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, a conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The conference has three specific objectives:

  • To share knowledge on maximising the benefits of biodigesters (use of biogas and application of bioslurry), and other clean cooking solutions
  • To offer opportunities to become involved in market development programmes as a policy maker, donor organisation or investor
  • To improve implementation practice and speeding up market and sector development for biodigesters and other clean cooking solutions.

It also includes one day of field visits to biodigester households, construction companies, bioslurry application sites, improved cook stoves producers and appliance producers.
More information on the event is available at the conference’s website here.
