This webinar will focus on the productive uses of electricity (PEU) and the role of Civil Society Organizations in promoting PEU. Two case studies will highlight experiences from Kenya: Practical Action will focus on milling and ice-making for making a mini-grid viable and Rainforest Alliance will present their experiences of promoting local briquettes manufacturing in tea industries. The webinar will also include a presentation from ACCESS Coalition about its strategy for 2019-2021.

During the last past months, the ACCESS Coalition found out the need to start mobilizing best practices and sharing relevant knowledge among the ACCESS members. For this, the ACCESS learning group (composed by Practical Action, energypedia, GERES, IIED and the Wuppertal institute) wants to initiate a series of Smart-Webinars, starting with PUE as this is a highly relevant topic for the ACCESS Coalition. This webinar is the first in a series of webinars that targets knowledge sharing from CSOs operating in energy access for other CSOs and beyond.

Presenters: Emma Colenbrander, Practical Action; Shadrack Kiprono Kirui, Rainforest Alliance; and Jacqueline Kimeu, Access Coalition;

Moderator: energypedia UG

Organizer: ACCESS Coalition
