Jonathan RouseI am a UK-based Independent Consultant with a background in both science (BSc Applied Physics) and social-science (MA Rural Development). My interest and involvement in household energy issues began when I ran a small, participatory, improved stove design project in a rural area near Lucknow, India in 2000. I then spent 5 years as a Research Associate at the Water, Engineering and Development Centre, Loughborough University http://wedc.lboro.ac.uk/. In 2005 I was seconded to the World Health Organisation in Geneva to focus on montoring and evaluation of household energy interventions. I now work through HED Consulting (www.hedconsulting.com) for a range of organisations including Practical Action, Climate Care, the World Bank, USEPA-PCIA, and UC Berkeley/ Berkeley Air.The focus of much of my work continues to be on rigorous monitoring and evaluation of household energy projects, and in this capacity I am becoming increasingly involved with carbon-finance, with Climate Care. I am particularly interested in the social and economic impacts of household energy on the poor in low-income countries. Many energy projects fail to upscale because socio-economic and basic demand issues are overlooked; my training work focuses on equipping individuals to address these important aspects of household energy initiatives.

I also devote a considerable amount of time collecting and chopping wood: through winter we rely on biomass for most of our heating, hot water and cooking.[top] [end]Contactj.r.rouse@...User:Jonathan Rouse 1 November 2008 | |
