SNV Call For Ethiopia ICS Program


SNV Ethiopia which is currently involved in a national domestic biogas programme, now wants to start a national large scale ICS programme. This programme will assist the rural population of Ethopia to have access to clean, efficient and affordable cooking devices.

SNV has invited consultants with strong knowledge of the biomass energy sector in Ethiopia to bid for a study on household improved cooking stove (ICS). The job of the consultant would be to collect and study data related to development status in the agricultural and livestock sectors, energy demand and supply in household sector, energy policy and plans, health and sanitation related needs and local environmental concerns related to deforestation, among others.

SNV aims to get a clear picture of the current status of ICS sector in Ethopia through this study. It also expects the study will make recommendations on capacity development interventions by SNV to increase the effectiveness of ICS.
