Workshop 1: How Can We Contribute to Measure the "100 Million by 2020" Goal?
- Facilitator/Chair: Dr. Christoph Messinger, GIZ/EnDev
- Rapporteur: Dr. Anne Wheldon, Ashden
Key Areas Discussed
1. We discussed the interpretation of the GACC aspirational goal of 100 million households, and SE4All goal of universal energy access, including whether the two goals are compatible, and how they link to national targets and plans.
2. We looked at the detail of data to be collected and some of the difficulties in this, in particular how to go from stoves sold -> households with access to clean cooking -> households adopting clean cooking.
3. We heard the experiences of three GACC members (EnDev, WLPGA, Government of Kenya) with monitoring their work, and discussed challenges, good examples and different ways in which monitoring could be harmonized to meet GACC needs.
Recommendations
1. Establishment of national data bases on cooking energy. These would be useful to avoid double counting of stoves, for investors and stove programmes, and also for other government activities as well as stoves. However, there is no general recommendation about what organisation should host such a data base or who is responsible for data collection.
2. A generally accepted interpretation is needed of the meaning of ‘household that has adopted clean cooking’, along with guidance on how this should be monitored.
3. As far as possible, the existing monitoring structures of stakeholders in the stove sector should be used for GACC reporting.
Specific Action Proposed (Including Responsibilities)
1. National cooking data bases should be piloted in some of the priority countries of GACC or World Bank/ESMAP
2. The GACC secretariat and members should work jointly to agree the interpretation of ‘household that has adopted clean cooking’, and to produce guidance on monitoring.
3. The GACC secretariat and members should work jointly to review existing monitoring structures, and develop a document or toolkit that identifies gaps in current reporting and explains what is needed to make reporting comprehensive.
