[Stoves] Canada assistance to Haiti

[Haiti]

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your question. While Global Affairs Canada recently announced a significant investment in Haiti to empower women and youth, they are still working through their processes to determine the level and nature of investment around cookstoves in Haiti, which could take several months to determine.  We will continue to keep the cookstoves and fuels community updated through the previously-shared FAQ<http://cleancookstoves.org/resources/476.html>, which will be updated and distributed once new information is received.


Kind Regards,

The Alliance Haiti Team

Stovers,   With a copy to the Haiti desk at GACC, requesting a reply or comment.

Press release from Canada about Haiti efforts, dated 8 Feb.

http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?mthd=index&crtr.page=1&nid=1186289


 Highlights:

Minister of International Development and La Francophonie, today announced five development projects in Haiti.
FIVE!!!!!!   What are they?   Could one be for stoves?  Not clear in this limited press release.   Maybe stoves is #6?


Canada’s $91.2-million investment will increase women’s access to sexual and reproductive health, protect the rights of child workers, increase access to education and improve women’s and children’s access to legal services.


Since 2010, Canada has provided more than $1.3 billion in international assistance to Haiti, including some $250 million in humanitarian assistance and $1.05 billion in development support.

Above shows that tens of millions of dollars for Canadaian sponsored projects are well within the budget.  What precisely is the Canadaian funding for cookstoves in  Haiti?  Will the GACC tell us?   With Canadian Global Affairs tell us?  Who in Haiti knows about this?

Perhaps our Canadian and Haitian "Stovers" or others can get more info.  Why do we not know more about this?

Paul
