Worried about putting in place a sound project monitoring system? Looking for peace of mind with this complex task? Eco can help you develop and implement reliable and hassle-free project monitoring in sustainable energy projects.

Eco Ltd has supported the development of a project to address the energy needs of marginalized communities in Hungary and Slovakia. The project task was to develop a project document (proposal) for funding by UNDP Thematic Trust funds. Eco’s experts called upon their knowledge of the region and sustainable energy in the context of poor communities to produce a high quality and relevant project design.

Boiling Point is a practitioner’s journal for those working with household energy and stoves. It deals with technical, social, financial and environmental issues and aims to improve the quality of life for poor communities living in the developing world.

Eco Ltd has developed a Results-Based Monitoring (RBM) system for the Programme for Basic Energy and Conservation (ProBEC).

ProBEC commissioned the RBM system to meet the challenge of collecting high-quality consistent data across many projects and countries in a format that would meet diverse donor reporting requirements and inform the project implementation process.

Eco Ltd conceived the idea of a network where pro-development persons and organisations talk and learn from each other in June 2000.

Eco Ltd prepared a project brief for a medium scale project (MSP) for GTZ-ProBEC for submission to UNDP-GEF. The project aims to "Remove barriers to Biomass Energy Conservation in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and institutions in the Southern African Development Community (SADC)". Eco provided leadership in country data collection in Lesotho, Namibia, Malawi, and Zimbabwe and provided back-stopping for local consultants who collected data in Mozambique and South Africa.

In a consortium lead by IISD, Eco is assisting GVEP to develop its communications and knowledge strategies and their effectiveness and accessibility in the African context. This includes analysis of networks such as EUEI, PCIA, REEEP, GNSED, LP Gas Challenge, ENERGIA, HEDON, and regional networks such as ARECOP, and AFREPREN.

The Household Energy Network (HEDON) was founded in 1992, initially as an effort to create a forum for northern partners with interest in household energy issues in the south. HEDON has since evolved into a global knowledge-oriented voluntary network of over 600 individuals and organisations from over 50 countries, focusing on energy in the context of acute poverty.
