[Stoves] solar cooker response (changing thread name)

[Nikhil Desai]

Bernie:

Thank you for the clarification. EUR 2.5 million is about what it takes to
do a sizable, well-planned project between Germany and South Africa unless
you had other GIZ presence in related energy activities.

It is of course encouraging that it was a success. I often say that failure
of a well-planned project is a gold mine; nobody plans to fail, so
discovering what went wrong is much more enlightening than finding out how
planning was done just perfectly right (and luck helped, as in most cases).

Let's hope that Germany stays the course in funding new projects, rather
than running away, leaving the field solely to GACC.
