<!--~-|**|PrettyHtmlEnd|**|-~--><p> Happy to announce that my company Vuthisa Technologies
is one of 33 projects (out of an initial 252
applications), and 1 of 7 from South Africa, chosen to
receive funding from the Energy and Environment
Partnership (Eastern and Southern Africa), initiated by
the lead donor: Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland,
co-donors include Austria (ADA), United Kingdom (DFID),
the EU Commission and the Nordic Development Fund. The
fund will kick-start the VUTHISA BIOCHAR INITIATIVE and is
additional to the Government funding we are set to receive
from the Department of Environmental Affairs (Working for
Water) alien plant removal programme. EEP will cover many
setting up costs, but more importantly cover feasibility
trials of our 3-drum Biochar Retort. <br>
<br>
This is also good news for ALL members of this group as we
will be sharing our findings as we go along.<br>
<br>
Now the work really starts...<br>

Subject: Fifth Call for Proposals Outcome- List of
Approved Projects<br>
Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2012 16:40:23 +0200<br>
From: Gershwin Pududu<br>
<br>
<br>
Dear EEP Stakeholder,<br>
<br>
We are delighted to present to you the projects that were
successful during the recently held EEP Fifth Call for
Proposals (CFPs). Please find attached hereto a list
(Annex 1) of the projects that were approved by the EEP
Steering Committee Meeting on the 27th November 2012.<br>
<br>
A total of 252 project profiles were submitted by project
developers from our partner countries during the 5th
CFPs. Following an initial screening process conducted for
quality and completeness checking, 168 project profiles
went through the screening process successfully and these
were further sent to national coordinators as well as
technical and business development evaluators to access
each project’s compliance to National policy priorities,
technical and economic viability respectively.
Pre-selected criteria, which are in line with the EEP’s
CFPs Guidelines, were used to perform these evaluations.
Based on the combination of the results of these three
evaluations, the Steering Committee has approved 33
projects requesting a total of € 6,397,279 in EEP grant
funding. The approved list will also be available on our
website soon; <a moz-do-not-send="true" target="_blank" href="http://www.eepafrica.org/"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1355490268_0">www.eepafrica.org</span></a> .<br>
<br>
We will soon be sending further communication to those of
you whose projects have been approved, to submit a full
proposal within 4 weeks of receiving the Full Proposal
Guidelines. Due to the overwhelming number of profiles
received, we regrettably cannot send feedback to the
applicants whose projects were not successful during this
round of Call for Proposals.<br>
<br>
Many thanks for your participation!<br>
<br>
Yours in Development,<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
<br>
