training and testing opportunities. In 2012, the USEPA and Winrock, through contracts with Aprovecho Research Center and Berkeley Air Monitoring Group, conducted stove performance testing trainings and field studies with cookstove organizations in Uganda (KPT)
and Vietnam (CCT). In 2013, we anticipate providing support for 3-4 additional organizations to conduct either the CCT or KPT to evaluate the field performance of their stove.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

more about these past efforts at <a href="http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/19494875:21808791612:m:1:1966238264:88B4887256496EDE0EC934B2E4BBC430:r" target="_blank">
<span style="color:#0070C0">www.PCIAonline.org/proceedings</span></a>. <strong><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The primary objective of this capacity building initiative is to help cookstove organizations obtain field data on fuel use to inform
and improve stove design, performance and use. </span></strong>In some cases, we will also assess emissions, including both health and climate-related pollutants.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

and Berkeley Air, in which several local organizations will be invited to participate.
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Please note, the training will be conducted in English.</span></strong> Upon completion of the workshop, the selected organization will then receive extended technical support for an in-depth field study
to quantify their stove’s fuel use in the field and gain the skills to evaluate new designs in the future.

in comparison to traditional cooking methods when a cook prepares a local meal. The CCT is designed to assess stove performance in a controlled setting using local fuels, pots, and practices. It reveals what is possible in households under controlled conditions,
but not necessarily what is actually achieved by households during daily use.The CCT training will be conducted by Aprovecho Research Center in a very interactive and collaborative manner involving presentations, discussions, hands-on stove design modification
and testing, data analysis exercises, and qualitative/survey exercises with cooks and stoves in the field. The Aprovecho team will continue to provide technical assistance to the selected organization after the training and field study by e-mail, telephone
and Skype. By the end of the technical assistance phase, the selected organization will have the capacity to conduct stove performance testing, perform the necessary data analysis, and make design modifications which improve their stove’s performance, safety,
and durability.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

may also assist the selected organization in producing fuel consumption estimates for application for carbon offsets, including CDM, Gold Standard, and other methodologies. The KPT training will be conducted by Berkeley Air Monitoring Group in a very interactive
and collaborative manner and will involve presentations, discussions, quantitative exercises (in Microsoft Excel), qualitative/survey exercises, role playing, and practice visits to households that are not part of the KPT sample.By the end of the technical
assistance phase, the organization will have the capacity to lead a KPT field effort, perform the necessary data analysis, and write a final report.
