Mainstreaming Gender in the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves
ENERGIA Practitioners and Policy Meet
December 13, 2011
Corinne HartProgram Manager, Gender and Markets
• 3 billion people still cook on traditional or open fire stoves fueled by biomass, and 2m die annually from smoke exposure
• Women cook and are disproportionately affected • Personal security at risk when out collecting fuel• Health risks such as pneumonia, heart and lung disease, burns
• Opportunity costs are high• High levels of drudgery – labor intensive and dangerous activities • Time saved and/or better quality time• Children could be in school
• Environment is impacted and climate change exacerbated • Deforestation, soil erosion, food insecurity
The Situation Today
• Development of new stove technologies
• Private sector interest in Base of Pyramid
• Convergence of players and new approaches
• Availability of innovative carbon and micro financing
• Strong empirical evidence on health and environmental effects
• Ownership and excitement at national country level
Old Issue, Renewed MomentumWhy Now?

The Need for an Alliance
• Lack of comprehensive vision and strategy to address household cooking energy issues at scale
• Limited awareness of the issue by high level policy makers, donors, private sector players
• Inadequacy of funding in the sector particularly when compared to resources committed to comparable issues (e.g. lack of electricity, clean water, malaria, AIDS, TB.)
• A wide range of complex barriers and inefficiencies that require a coordinated, cross-sectoral response

Fostering an Enabling
Environment
EnhanceDemand
• Finance clean cookstovesand fuels businesses at scale• Access carbon finance• Build an inclusive value chainfor clean cookstoves and fuels• Gather better market intelligence• Ensure access for vulnerable populations
• Promote international standards and rigorous testing protocols• Champion the sector to build awareness• Further document the evidence base (health, climate, and gender)• Engage national and local stakeholders• Develop credible monitoring and evaluation systems
• Understand and motivatethe user as customer• Reach the last mile• Finance the purchase ofclean cookstoves and fuels• Develop better cookstovetechnologies and a broadermenu of options

Catalyze Sector and Broker Partnerships
Enable Markets
Champion the Issue
Mobilize Resources
Promote International Standards
Coordinate Sector Knowledge and Research
Phase 1 2012-14Define and rapidly
grow sector
Phase 2 2015-17 Clean Cookstoves a
global priority
Phase 3 2018-20 A sustainable market for clean cookstoves
Focus Countries
Active Countries
Partner Countries
Country Level Engagement will be critical to sustainable success
Alliance Role Likely Target Countries
Transformative, likely to require engagement 3+ years,
multiple intervention strategies and actions
East Africa Region (Tanzania, Nigeria, Uganda, Rwanda), Bangladesh, Viet Nam
‘Surgical’ intervention, likely 1- 3 years of engagement, extrapolation of learnings
applicable to other partners
China, India, Indonesia, Ghana, Nigeria, Guatemala, Mexico (Brazil?, Cambodia? Peru?)
Sharing of knowledge, practices, country tool kits,
brokering partnerships amongst actors
All other partner countries
A robust data driven approach has been utilized to prioritize countries
•Health impact (as % of total deaths)
•Relevance to other countries (in region and beyond)
•Environmental impacts (deforestation, desertification, biodiversity, and air pollution)
•Potential Indicators for Gender / Livelihoods
Potential Impact (25%)
•Households Affected
•Extent of Current Market Activity (stoves being sold, potential market, etc)
•Structure of Potential Consumer Financing (MFIs, credit unions, etc)
•Political will, governance / flag instability, ease of doing business
•Lessons from Past or Present National Cookstove Programs
Scalability / Potential Contribution to 100 M
(25%)
•Traditional market-based approach in this sector and others
•Active implementing partners
•Potential implementing partners
•Current National Cookstove Programs
Opportunity to Test Innovative Business Models (25%)
•Donor priority / interest
•Partner activities
•Complementary UNF programming
Leveraging Other Resources (12.5%)
•% of Solid Fuel Use
•Rural Population
•Income per day (USD)
•Large humanitarian presence
Greatest Need (12.5%)
Mainstreaming Gender in the Alliance • Gender focal point • Gender Cross-Cutting Committee • Define and distribute gender-informed best practices
for stove businesses• If appropriate, gender requirements in RFPs• Gender baseline assessments in focus countries • Gender action planning for Alliance and partners • Specific partner engagement strategies for
organizations focused on gender and empowerment • Gender-informed M&E (sex disaggregated data,
gender-sensitive methodologies, etc.)
Mainstreaming Gender Throughout Alliance’s Phase 1 Priorities
Enhance Demand Strengthen Supply Foster Enabling Environment
Research Customer Behavior and Segmentation
Conduct Detailed Market Assessments in ‘Focus’and ‘Active’ countries Finalize Interim Stove Ratings System
(ISRS) and work towards Globally-recognized (likely ISO) Standards
Enhance capacity and number of stove testing and improvement facilitiesStove Social-Marketing
Fund two pilots to test and strengthen inclusive supply-chain models, with a focus on women entrepreneurs. Fund three capacity-building orgs. to strengthen existing stove value-chains
Increase Consumer Finance Opportunities
Work with SAFE Task force to implement its recommendations
Pilot clean cookstove distribution with two humanitarian agencies
Constantly champion the sector through a wide range of profile-raising activities
Mobilize Resources and partnership in the sector
Health research studies
Multi-scale global mapping of default emissions factors and non-renewability of fuelwood
Alliance initiates two gender-related studies
Technology Innovation Fund Develop a Working Capital Fund for Stove Businesses
Pilot consumer adoption approaches for each of the Alliance three target segments
Identify Existing Innovative Distribution Models
Build awareness and recruit investors into clean cookstoves to enable scaled production – develop an investor marketplace microsite
