Sparknet E-ConferencesSparknet is a multi-stakeholder interactive Knowledge Network focusing on how people, in the context of acute poverty, can gain access to better energy services and improve their livelihoods.The network aims to make available resources for policy makers, companies, and civil society on energy poverty in Southern and East Africa. These are published through the network website www.sparknet.info. Sparknet focuses on three key themes - Health, Gender and Forestry - and the relationship of these issues with energy poverty. Outputs include country overviews, scenario analyses, and policy assessments. Two e-conferences were held during the project - one on the scenarios (see Sparknet Scenario Conference), and another on policies (see Sparknet Policy Conference). [top] [end]Conference dates
[top] [end]What is an e-conference?An e-conference is one which will be held online via the internet (without any travelling or meeting face to face). While a physical meeting is certainly to be preferred, the online format allows for greater flexibility, much lower costs, and wider involvement of stakeholders. Another advantage is that people can 'attend' the conference while continuing their normal work, dedicating an hour or two to the conference early morning or each evening for example. Our e-conference will happen by email, supported by papers and other documentation to be made available on our website. After the conference, proceedings will be prepared and circulated.Participation in our e-conferences is free, and no travelling or accommodation is needed. We are also not inviting submission new papers to this conference, although we welcome your contributions (in the form of mini-papers / notes / questions / suggestions) during discussions.
