Our Focus
Relevant to PCIA, E+Co is invested in efficient stove technology throughout Africa and LPG technology. E+Co also leverages carbon finance for the purpose of promoting efficient biomass cook stoves, and has developed several carbon finance cook stove projects according to both the Gold Standard and the CDM.
Our Experience And Interest In The Four PCIA Central Focus Areas
E+Co employs local investment officers who identify culturally appropriate and relevant investments and technologies. From a cooking standpoint, this generally involves local designs and tried and tested technologies. We are also working with international manufacturers of cook stoves to bring high quality technology into the market.
E+Co engages on a financial basis and on a consulting basis to help formalize business practices of enterprises pursuing commercial efforts in this arena.
We have not engaged on this topic, and have found that local, non standardized technologies are generally most appropriate.
We monitor our investments through dedicated Monitoring & Evaluation Officers in each region that visit each investment twice each year to measure their progress on over 30 non-monetary indicators. Some of these indicators include health indicators, although it is not our primary monitoring activity.
