Dear Stakeholder, 

ECOA Climate Capital (“ECC”) is pleased to invite you to a Local Stakeholder Consultation (“LSC”) meeting for its planned Voluntary Project Activities (“VPAs”) in the Republic of Kenya. These VPAs will seek certification under the Gold Standard Programme of Activities (“PoA”)”ECC_Multi-country Electric Clean Cooking Programme”. 

The objective of the VPAs  is to provide access to modern cooking technologies to end-users across Africa through deployment of electric and metered cookstoves, hence reducing or displacing woody biomass consumption for households, institutions and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

In this context the LSC's will be carried out to provide key project design information and to solicit feedback on the same from a varied cross section of stakeholders. These include local community members, non-governmental organizations, women groups, research institutes policy makers at the National and County level.. Please note that this Local Stakeholder Consultation would be also valid for any other Voluntary Project Activities (VPAs) implemented in Kenya under ECOA Climate Capital Gold Standard PoA “ECC_Multi-country Electric Clean Cooking Programme”, provided that they are homogeneous, i.e., deploy the same stove type(s), target the same end-users and consist of the same project boundary. 

ECOA Climate Capital (Coordinating and Managing Entity of the PoA) invites all interested parties to attend one of the following Local Stakeholder Consultation meetings. Stakeholders who cannot physically attend have the possibility to participate online through zoom:

Ndugu Mdau,

ECOA Climate Capital (“ECC”) inafuraha kukualika kwenye mkutano wa Ushauri wa Washikadau wa Ndani (“LSC”) kwa ajili ya Shughuli zake za Mradi wa Hiari (“VPAs”) zilizopangwa katika Jamhuri ya Kenya. VPA hizi zitatafuta uidhinishaji chini ya Mpango wa Shughuli wa Kiwango cha Dhahabu (“PoA”)”ECC_Mpango wa Upikaji Safi wa Umeme wa nchi nyingi”.

Madhumuni ya shughuli za mradi ni kutoa teknolojia za kisasa za kupikia kwa watumiaji kote barani Afrika kupitia kupeleka majiko yaliyoboreshwa ya umeme, na hivyo kupunguza matumizi ya kuni kwa kaya, taasisi na Biashara Ndogo na za Kati (SMEs) ili kupunguza hali mbaya ya mazingira na kijamii athari za kuendelea kwa matumizi ya biomasi.

Katika muktadha huu, mikutano ya kupata ushauri  wa umma yatafanyika kwa wadau wote wa ndani, walioathirika na wanaovutiwa, ikijumuisha mashirika yasiyo ya kiserikali, vikundi vya wanawake, taasisi za utafiti na mashirika/watu binafsi wanaoshughulikia mada zinazohusiana na shughuli za mradi, watunga sera juu ya kitaifa na ngazi ya jimbo na vile vile kwa watu wa eneo hilo, jamii na au wawakilishi ambao wameathiriwa moja kwa moja na mradi. Tafadhali kumbuka kuwa Mashauriano haya ya Wadau wa Ndani yatakuwa halali pia kwa Shughuli zozote za Mradi wa Hiari (VPAs) unaotekelezwa nchini Kenya chini ya ECOA Climate Capital Gold Standard PoA "ECC_Multi-country Electric Clean Cooking Programme".

ECOA Climate Capital (Shirika la Kuratibu na Kusimamia mradi wa PoA) inawaalika wahusika wote kuhudhuria mojawapo ya mikutano zifuatazo, wadau ambao hawataweza kufika ukumbini, wana uwezo wa kushiriki mtandaoni kupitia Zoom:
