About SNV
SNV is a mission-driven global development partner working across Africa and Asia. Our mission is to strengthen capacities and catalyse partnerships that transform the agri-food, energy, and water systems, which enable sustainable and more equitable lives for all.
Background
Institutional cookstoves are used where large amount of food needs to be cooked, for example: schools, hospitals, prisons, and other institutions. To cater to the needs of institutional cookstoves, SNV designed a medium-sized ceramic cookstove with a cooking capacity of 20 liters. These stoves are found very useful in roadside restaurants and small groups of people but are not able to meet the needs of schools where large influxes of people require food urgently. In this context, we are looking for consulting firm or individual expert consultant who could introduce an improved cookstove (size: 75 liters to 100 liters), an expected life span of 10 years, and technology could be built using local materials and labours in Laos.
Objective
The main objective is to introduce institutional cookstoves in public schools in Lao PDR to reduce fuel consumption, make the cooking process faster, improve cooking safety, and reduce exposure to harmful emissions. The design considers the simple construction procedures and proposes to use locally available construction materials which allows the technology to be replicated in the community.
