It established functioning financing mechanisms for vendors and end-users of PV systems, built technical capacity in the public and private sectors and created awareness. The PV systems were installed by private PV dealers.<br/>The project established an innovative end-users financing mechanism using 6 rural micro finance institutions (Village Banks). The village banks were provided a revolving fund of US$ 350,000 for onward lending. As a result of the fund, the village banks were able to charge lower interest rates (18% per annum) for solar system loans and extend credit for longer periods of up to 24 months compared to the usual 6 to 12 months by other financial institutions. The institutions also allowed flexible repayment schedules that fitted the income flow of the consumers. Over 600 PV systems were installed under the village bank financing mechanism in one year.<br/>In the implementation, the village banks were responsible for mobilising customers, procurement of PV systems and issuing and recovery of loans. The PV systems were procured through a competitive bidding process from PV suppliers. On the other hand, the project was responsible for quality assurance which was done through a system of verification and monitoring. It was also responsible for sensitisation and education of consumers and providing technical back-stopping and capacity building for participating institutions.<br/>Vendor financing was also arranged through a commercial bank using a guarantee fund of US$ 150,000.

The improved Lorena stove saves 50-70% of energy compared to the traditional three-stone fire. This is a result of the high temperature in the combustion chamber because of the rocket elbow combustion chamber is designed to ensure correct fuel-air mixture and is properly insulated to minimize heat loss. These improvements result into a high combustion efficiency and significantly reduced smoke. Further, the stove design ensures that the pot sits right inside the shielded fire chamber, hence maximizing heat transfer efficiency.<br/>The dissemination of the improved Rocket Lorena stoves, has followed a “pyramid” system strategy that starts with a few coordinators at the top and ends up with hundreds of stove builders at the village level<br/>In the strategy, the project builds the capacity of an non-governmental organization (NGO) in a chosen district to technically and administratively manage the program. The NGO appoints a number of district coordinators for the scaling up dissemination process. Since the district is divided into sub-counties, parishes and villages, the NGO builds the capacity of sub-county stove coordinators. Selected potential stove builders from every village are trained at parish level by visiting trainers. Every parish is given a proven artisan to train the potential stove builders. The parish coordinator also ensures that the stove builders are organized into operational groups that can disseminate stoves. The sub-county coordinator is responsible for selection of trainees and organizing the training in every parish in the sub-county. He also gives them secondary training that perfects their skills.

The village banks were provided a revolving fund of US$ 350,000 for onward lending. As a result of the fund, the village banks were able to charge lower interest rates (18% per annum) for solar system loans and extend credit for longer periods of up to 24 months compared to the usual 6 to 12 months by other financial institutions. The institutions also allowed flexible repayment schedules that fitted the income flow of the consumers. Over 600 PV systems were installed under the village bank financing mechanism in one year.<br/>In the implementation, the village banks were responsible for mobilising customers, procurement of PV systems and issuing and recovery of loans. The PV systems were procured through a competitive bidding process from PV suppliers. On the other hand, the project was responsible for quality assurance which was done through a system of verification and monitoring. It was also responsible for sensitisation and education of consumers and providing technical back-stopping and capacity building for participating institutions.<br/>Vendor financing was also arranged through a commercial bank using a guarantee fund of US$ 150,000.

It established functioning financing mechanisms for vendors and end-users of PV systems, built technical capacity in the public and private sectors and created awareness. The PV systems were installed by <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">the </del>private PV dealers.<br/>The project established an innovative end-users financing mechanism using 6 rural micro finance institutions (Village Banks). The village banks were provided a revolving fund of US$ 350,000 for onward lending. As a result of the fund, the village banks were able to charge lower interest rates (18% per annum) for solar system loans and extend credit for longer periods of up to 24 months compared to the usual 6 to 12 months by other financial institutions. The institutions also allowed flexible repayment schedules that fitted the income flow of the consumers. Over 600 PV systems were installed under the village bank financing mechanism in one year.<br/>In the implementation, the village banks were responsible for mobilising customers, procurement of PV systems and issuing and recovery of loans. The PV systems were procured through a competitive bidding process from PV suppliers. On the other hand, the project was responsible for quality assurance which was done through a system of verification and monitoring. It was also responsible for sensitisation and education of consumers and providing technical back-stopping and capacity building for participating institutions.<br/>Vendor financing was also arranged through a commercial bank using a guarantee fund of US$ 150,000.

The improved Lorena stove saves 50-70% of energy compared to the traditional three-stone fire. This is a result of the high temperature in the combustion chamber because of the rocket elbow combustion chamber is designed to ensure correct fuel-air mixture and is properly insulated to minimize heat loss. These improvements result into a high combustion efficiency and significantly reduced smoke. Further, the stove design ensures that the pot sits right inside the shielded fire chamber, hence maximizing heat transfer efficiency.<br/>The dissemination of the improved Rocket Lorena stoves, has followed a “pyramid” system strategy that starts with a few coordinators at the top and ends up with hundreds of stove builders at the village level<br/>In the strategy, the project builds the capacity of an non-governmental organization (NGO) in a chosen district to technically and administratively manage the program. The NGO appoints a number of district coordinators for the scaling up dissemination process. Since the district is divided into sub-counties, parishes and villages, the NGO builds the capacity of sub-county stove coordinators. Selected potential stove builders from every village are trained at parish level by visiting trainers. Every parish is given a proven artisan to train the potential stove builders. The parish coordinator also ensures that the stove builders are organized into operational groups that can disseminate stoves. The sub-county coordinator is responsible for selection of trainees and organizing the training in every parish in the sub-county. He also gives them secondary training that perfects their skills.

The village banks were provided a revolving fund of US$ 350,000 for onward lending.

The improved Lorena stove saves 50-70% of energy compared to the traditional three-stone fire. This is a result of the high temperature in the combustion chamber because of the rocket elbow combustion chamber is designed to ensure correct fuel-air mixture and is properly insulated to minimize heat loss. These improvements result into a high combustion efficiency and significantly reduced smoke. Further, the stove design ensures that the pot sits right inside the shielded fire chamber, hence maximizing heat transfer efficiency.<br/>The dissemination of the improved Rocket Lorena stoves, has followed a “pyramid” system strategy that starts with a few coordinators at the top and ends up with hundreds of stove builders at the village level<br/>In the strategy, the project builds the capacity of an non-governmental organization (NGO) in a chosen district to technically and administratively manage the program. The NGO appoints a number of district coordinators for the scaling up dissemination process. Since the district is divided into sub-counties, parishes and villages, the NGO builds the capacity of sub-county stove coordinators. Selected potential stove builders from every village are trained at parish level by visiting trainers. Every parish is given a proven artisan to train the potential stove builders. The parish coordinator also ensures that the stove builders are organized into operational groups that can disseminate stoves. The sub-county coordinator is responsible for selection of trainees and organizing the training in every parish in the sub-county. He also gives them secondary training that perfects their skills. This strategy has been successfully used to disseminate over 175,000 Rocket Lorena stoves in Bushenyi and Rakai districts in Uganda since 2005.</div></td><td class='diff-marker'> </td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>The improved rocket lorena stoves ([[:File:GIZ HERA 2011 Rocket-Lorena-with-air-bypass Uganda.pdf|GIZ HERA 2011 Rocket-Lorena-with-air-bypass Uganda.pdf]]) are 30% more efficient compared to the traditional open three-stone fire stove.

The NGO appoints a number of district coordinators for the scaling up dissemination process. Since the district is divided into sub-counties, parishes and villages, the NGO builds the capacity of sub-county stove coordinators. Selected potential stove builders from every village are trained at parish level by visiting trainers. Every parish is given a proven artisan to train the potential stove builders. The parish coordinator also ensures that the stove builders are organized into operational groups that can disseminate stoves. The sub-county coordinator is responsible for selection of trainees and organizing the training in every parish in the sub-county. He also gives them secondary training that perfects their skills. This strategy has been successfully used to disseminate over 175,000 Rocket Lorena stoves in Bushenyi and Rakai districts in Uganda since 2005.</div></td></tr>
