10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) 

In the cookstoves sector, much attention is appropriately paid to
household-level cooking. But open fires and rudimentary biomass cookstoves
are also used widely for entrepreneurial activities. Cleaner and more
efficient cookstoves for these commercial applications can result in
improved working conditions, higher profit margins, better quality products,
and reduced environmental impacts.

Would you like to hear about current efforts to promote and expand clean and
efficient technologies and approaches for productive uses?
<https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2973576801769474817> Attend this
webinar to learn how the use of improved cookstoves in three productive use
applications is improving livelihoods, increasing quality of commercial
products and reducing environmental degradation in Africa.
