Cookstoves: Recipe for Engagement (Photo Credit: Geres) Background In the ‘Greater Mekong Region’ there has been strong uptake of improved cookstoves. This has been due to sustained effort by SMEs, MFIs and nonprofits, with an increasing amount of coordination. However, most of their data resides in ‘silos’ – institutional repositories. To leverage their efforts on a global scale, an open data solution would facilitate replication of successful strategies. Purpose To encourage ‘Greater Mekong Region’ institutions working in the field of institutional improved cookstoves (ICS) technologies to enact ‘Linked Open Data’ standards for uptake reportage, in the process improving ‘grass roots’ reportage. Main Activities • Partner with regional institutions for small, yearly awards for village-based cookstove uptake • Publicize award profiles (villages, users, recipes) to facilitate grass-roots clean energy networking • Create Open Data cookstove uptake map web site in cooperation/conferral with regional institutions • Develop smartphone app for reportage & utilize existing SMS services • Develop a plan for country reportage verification with regional institutions. • Train regional staff for direct reportage using smartphone app. • Train reportage staff in use of SMS for local ‘training of trainers’ • Train local IT/technical staff in use of ‘Linked Open Data’ for reportage. • Fund travel of IT/Technical staff to report on results at regional and international meetings: Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, Clean Energy Meetings, TechCamps and BarCamps.

Background
In the ‘Greater Mekong Region’ there has been strong uptake of improved cookstoves. This has been due to sustained effort by SMEs, MFIs and nonprofits, with an increasing amount of coordination. However, most of their data resides in ‘silos’ – institutional repositories. To leverage their efforts on a global scale, an open data solution would facilitate replication of successful strategies.
Purpose
To encourage ‘Greater Mekong Region’ institutions working in the field of institutional improved cookstoves (ICS) technologies to enact ‘Linked Open Data’ standards for uptake reportage, in the process improving ‘grass roots’ reportage.
Main Activities
• Partner with regional institutions for small, yearly awards for village-based cookstove uptake • Publicize award profiles (villages, users, recipes) to facilitate grass-roots clean energy
networking • Create Open Data cookstove uptake map web site in cooperation/conferral with regional
institutions • Develop smartphone app for reportage & utilize existing SMS services • Develop a plan for country reportage verification with regional institutions. • Train regional staff for direct reportage using smartphone app. • Train reportage staff in use of SMS for local ‘training of trainers’ • Train local IT/technical staff in use of ‘Linked Open Data’ for reportage. • Fund travel of IT/Technical staff to report on results at regional and international meetings:
Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, Clean Energy Meetings, TechCamps and BarCamps.
Expected Impact
• SME/NGO/ MFI/ Government acceptance of Linked Open Data reportage standards • Increased uptake of improved cookstove (ICS) technologies, particularly in rural areas • CO2 emissions reduced and effects of climate change mitigated • Creation of more energy businesses and market expansion for energy products and services • Catalyze policy influence on Renewable Energy and Environmental Efficiency • Reduced deforestation due to use of the improved cook stoves
