In December,
the Alliance reviewed approximately 75
applications for the Pilot Innovation Fund (PIF) from organizations
around the world. The PIF, supported by Canada International Development
Agency, was designed to jumpstart innovative approaches to strengthen
supply and enhance demand in the sector along the value chain. In return
for seed capital to finance and pilot these innovations, recipients are
required to document lessons learned and share results to advance
awareness of scalable solutions in the sector. The applications we
received proposed a variety of pilots and utilized many different stove
and fuel types. The average grant size awarded was approximately
$50,000. Through a highly competitive process, the Alliance is proud to
announce the following award recipients:
UpEnergy

energy-efficient stoves in Uganda Uganda
