To undertake an evaluation of the use of biomass briquettes in humanitarian, development and emergency contexts globally, and an accompanying Feasibility Study on the potential manufacture and use of biomass briquettes in Sudan.
WOMEN’S COMMISSION JUNE 2008
Project Goal In order to provide an empirical and evidence basis for the potential larger-scale use of biomass briquettes in Sudan, the Women’s Commission seek a short-term Consultant to undertake an evaluation of the use of biomass briquettes in humanitarian, development and emergency contexts globally, and an accompanying Feasibility Study on the potential manufacture and use of biomass briquettes in Sudan.
Project Outputs The consultant will:
Conduct a literature review and desk study of biomass briquette programs previously and currently used in humanitarian, development and emergency contexts worldwide. Consultant will share findings. Timeframe for literature review and desk study will be about two weeks.
Undertake field work in Sudan to investigate the potential for manufacture and use of biomass briquettes.
Write a report including key findings and recommendations on the manufacture and use of biomass briquettes in Sudan. The recommendations of the report will be focused on which type of briquette/briquette technology(ies) may warrant further research for potential manufacture and use in Sudan.
A secondary review may then been suggested to examine social soundness issues in more depth (including the effect of the use of briquettes in IDP settings on relations with host communities; the impact of use on the environment; and effect of use of biomass briquettes in household settings (indoor air pollution, etc.)). The timeframe to write the report should take approximately two weeks.
