Our Experience And Interest In The Four PCIA Central Focus Areas

Social/Cultural barriers to using traditional fuels and stoves:

We work with NGOs who are well known by the communities; we help them to adjust to the new stove; to the new technologies we are introducing (wind and solar energy also) for showers and for electricity. We work with people from the community and the technicians are also part of the time living with them.


Market development for improved cooking technologies:

We buy efficient and certified stoves.


Technology standardization for cooking, heating and ventilation:

With the standards given by GTZ- Aprovecho Institute and the Universidad Mayor de San Simón.


Indoor air pollution exposure and health monitoring:

With the IAP that some of the institutions have, we make the monitoring: pre and post surveys, participative observation, on going and ex-post monitoring.
