<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">This Request for Proposals (RFP) is part of the Alliance’s strategy to strengthen the cookstove sector’s ability to evaluate, communicate, and improve performance of cookstoves and fuels and thus improve adoption.
The activities supported in this RFP will address gaps in global testing capacity. Support for strengthening existing testing centers will also enhance the network of experts that collaborate globally on testing and cookstove development and that also catalyze
regional activities. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

and health research. Proposals may include support for equipment (hardware and software) and staff training. Proposals must provide justification for how the proposed activities address regional need, current gaps at the testing center and overall goals for
the center. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
