Our Focus
We have been instrumental in the design and development of improved kilns for use by gari producers in Ghana to eliminate or reduce smoke emissions during processing. We are currently designing a stove to be used in producing gari using bio-gas.
Our Experience And Interest In The Four PCIA Central Focus Areas
We have not yet been involved in any partnerships. We have however, made contacts with Appropriate Rural Technology Institute (ARTI) India to introduce their compact bio-gas system to the cassava processing groups in Ghana and West Africa as a whole.
As a personnel doing my national service at the National Energy Board, Ghana, I have been involved in the promotion of improved cook stoves using saw dust, briquettes, LPG and bio-gas.
There is currently a standardized design and drawing of the improved kiln for gari production in a clean virtually smokeless environment. The design is such that, although fuel-wood is used, there are chimneys that send the smoke out into the atmosphere and hence there is little or no smoke.
I have been involved in the training of entrepreneurs in the rural areas in regards to environmental practices and safety measures. These were small scale local soap producers, batik tie and dye cloth makers, bee keepers and honey producers and grass-cutter farmers.
Relevant Publications or Studies
I will soon send one which is still being worked on.
Our Contribution to the Partnership
We would like to be involved in the design and development of new technologies for improved cooking and healthy environment to do business either on a small or medium scale. Training of rural folk in the use of these new technologies and promotion of the technologies as well.
