Summary: | The East Asia and Pacific (EAP) clean
stove initiative (CSI) forum is part of the World
Bank's EAP CSI regional program, which focuses on
achieving access to modern cooking and heating solutions in
the EAP region, particularly through the scaled-up access to
advanced cooking and heating stoves for poor, primarily
rural households, who are likely to continue using solid
fuels to meet their cooking and heating needs beyond 2030.
The objectives of the EAP CSI forum are twofold. The first
is to share results from implementing the first phase of the
CSI, including reports on initial stocktaking activities in
the four participating countries and the intervention
strategies. The second is to promote collaboration,
learning, and knowledge-sharing as the country initiatives
move into their second phase. Market forces and mechanisms
are powerful tools for ensuring a sustainable supply of
clean cooking stoves and should be harnessed in a way that
helps the private sector develop, market, and deliver modern
cooking solutions. Thus, the CSI intervention strategy in
each country needs to strike the right balance between
market-based solutions, including innovative financing
mechanisms (for example, results-based financing (RBF), with
appropriately targeted subsidies. Government policies are
needed to: (i) establish and maintain adequate levels of
subsidies; and (ii) design and implement effective subsidy
allocation mechanisms to mobilize and sustain private-sector
participation in scaling up access to clean stoves. This
paper is organized as follows: chapter one is Indonesia:
toward universal access to clean cooking, key findings from
the CSI; chapter two is Indonesia CSI program: government
perspective; chapter three gives CSI implementation activity
in Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR); chapter four
is China: toward universal access to clean cooking and
heating, key findings from the CSI (phase one); chapter five
presents development of clean stoves in China; and chapter
six is millennium challenge account: Mongolia energy and
environment project (2010 to 2013). |
