Ben,
Please provide more info about that suggestion/recommendation. When was
it, and to whom? Any viable contacts that could be reached for further
clarification?
In general, the decentralized elements are not "organized" and have far
fewer funds. Much of it is lobbying and money to get decisions that
favor those who can lobby and have the money already. Because that is
not likely to change, what strategies are possible for decentralized
efforts even in relatively small geographic areas?

Deloitte contractors suggested decentralized for various reasons, there
consulting was rejected because the finding did not reinforce the message of
mass production and distribution by development industry players.

Dear Paal, and all,
As much as I can agree with Paal's statements, but I think the cards are
stacked against the success of decentralized efforts.
The issue that Paal raises about the need to have decentralized production of stoves (and
fuels) is a touchy topic because the "model" of the affluent world is for
centralized industrial production. That centralized model is certainly a cornerstone of
the GACC and WB and many who feel that the model of the affluent world will work to
resolve major issues in the developing world. And they control access to most of the
funding. And they present very convincing arguments. (If they could not, they would
not be in control of the situation.)
It would be good to have some examples of decentralized efforts having major
impacts. Maybe the spread of the Kenyan ceramic jiko (KCJ) is one example.
I will be at ETHOS and willing for such discussions if others step forward
wanting to discuss this informally as an ad hoc sub-group.

Due to health and age it will not be possible for me to participate, but after
30 years working with task and followed the discussion at Stove list I have
come to this conclusion.
There has to be a discussion at ETHOS about centralized or decentralized
activities regarding fuel and stove production with a view on the enormous
unemployment in developing countries. Taken into consideration the high demands
of clean combustion, pellets will be the future biomass fuel for simple clean
burning such as TLUD ND and FD. Energy forestry and agriculture energy
production together collection of waste biomass of different types will give a
lot of new needed jobs.
· Registration of local waste combustible biomass.
· Use of local resources
· Biochar production by cooking.
That will be the best way for GACC Stove program to support the low income
groups all around the worl
