The Partnership for Clean Indoor Air: Achievements and Challenges

Slide 2:The Challenge Almost 3 billion people burn traditional fuels indoors for home cooking and heating. The number of people using these fuels is expected to rise substantially by 2020. (Bullet 1-talking point) This includes more than 75% of people in India, China and nearby countries, and 50-75% of people in parts of South America and Africa. (WHO 2002). (Bullet 1-talking point) This includes more than 75% of people in India, China and nearby countries, and 50-75% of people in parts of South America and Africa. (WHO 2002).

Slide 3:Solid Fuel Use

Slide 4:Cross-cutting Issue Energy (LPG, renewables, wood�) Deforestation/desertification Climate change (greenhouse gas emissions) Gender (time, health, education�) Health (air pollution, injuries, pests�) Economic development (jobs, activities with time-saved�) Children�s health (pneumonia, asthma, acute lower respiratory infections �)

Slide 5:About the Partnership for Clean Indoor Air (PCIA) Launched in Johannesburg at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002. Now over 120 partners from the public and private sector working together in 67 countries. 9 Asian Countries 30 Partners9 Asian Countries 30 Partners

Slide 6:PCIA�s Mission Improve health, livelihood, and quality of life through reduced exposure to air pollution, primarily among women and children, from household energy use in developing countries.

Slide 7:PCIA�s Goal Increase the use of clean, reliable, affordable, efficient, and safe home cooking and heating practices that reduce exposure to indoor air pollution.

Slide 8:PCIA�s Comprehensive Approach Incorporate social and cultural customs. Support sustainable, local markets. Meet design/performance criteria. Demonstrate reduced exposure.

Slide 9:Current Partnership Activities Strengthening exchanges and networks. Partner Forum � New Delhi, India - March 2007 Developing tools and resources. Partnership Web site: www.PCIAonline.org Quarterly Bulletin PCIA Design Principles for Wood Burning Cook Stoves Partner Meetings: New York, May 2003 � 26 participants Morocco, March 2005 � 55 participants Developing tools and resources to fill information gaps: Partnership Web site: www.PCIAonline.org Factsheets in English, Spanish, Chinese, French Quarterly Bulletins PCIA Design Principles for Wood Burning Cook Stoves (English and Spanish) Retained Heat Cooker Guide World Food Program, �Cooking with Less Fuel: Breathing Less Smoke� Comparing Cookstoves Place-Based Education Guide Partner Meetings: New York, May 2003 � 26 participants Morocco, March 2005 � 55 participants Developing tools and resources to fill information gaps: Partnership Web site: www.PCIAonline.org Factsheets in English, Spanish, Chinese, French Quarterly Bulletins PCIA Design Principles for Wood Burning Cook Stoves (English and Spanish) Retained Heat Cooker Guide World Food Program, �Cooking with Less Fuel: Breathing Less Smoke� Comparing Cookstoves Place-Based Education Guide

Slide 10:Benefits of Working in Partnership Greater visibility and support for the issue Leverage expertise and resources Access to experts in other sectors Share lessons learned Build on effective approaches Achieve greater results: more people with reduced exposure to indoor air pollution Access to experts in other sectors through: Networking opportunities Capacity building workshops Access to experts in other sectors through: Networking opportunities Capacity building workshops

Slide 11:Current Partnership Activities Building capacity in priority areas. Stove design and performance workshops Laboratory stove testing Regional health/exposure monitoring workshops Regional commercialization workshops Kiln building workshop & materials Stove design and performance workshops (Philippines, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, China) Stove testing (emissions & fuel efficiency) Kiln building workshop & materials (Uganda, Mauritania) Regional health/exposure workshops (Guatemala, Uganda, Sri Lanka) Commercialization workshops and technical assistance (Mexico, Honduras, China, Ethiopia, Uganda) Stove design and performance workshops (Philippines, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, China) Stove testing (emissions & fuel efficiency) Kiln building workshop & materials (Uganda, Mauritania) Regional health/exposure workshops (Guatemala, Uganda, Sri Lanka) Commercialization workshops and technical assistance (Mexico, Honduras, China, Ethiopia, Uganda)

Slide 12:Partner Pilot Projects Sharing lessons learned. Replicating projects that promote improved cooking and heating practices that are more efficient, meet users� needs, reduce exposures, and can be produced locally. Scaling-up effective approaches.

Slide 13:USEPA Pilot Project Grants Uganda � Venture Strategies/UCODEA Nigeria � Centre for Household Energy & Environment Mauritania � Nedwa/Peace Corps India � Development Alternatives India � Appropriate Rural Technology Institute China � The Nature Conservancy China � Institute for Environmental Health & Related Product Safety, CDC China Guatemala � HELPS International, Inc. Honduras � Trees, Water & People Mexico � Solar Household Energy, Inc.

Slide 14:USG Pilot Project Results to Date To date, the 10 Pilot Projects have resulted in: 1.3 million households educated about IAP 70,000 homes using clean & fuel-efficient practices 700 new small businesses producing and marketing improved technologies 280,000 people with reduced exposure to indoor smoke = $4 per person

Slide 15:Opportunities for Involvement Join the Partnership (www.PCIAonline.org). Participate in Partnership activities. Partnership Forum March 20 � 23, 2007, India Distribute PCIA materials to stakeholders. Review and comment on tools in development stages. Look for opportunities to collaborate and leverage resources with other PCIA members.
