Disabled Technicians Uganda Limited

In a country where Disabled Technicians Uganda Limited has long and increasing successfully experience in promoting cleaner safer, more efficient and affordable cooking stoves, workshops took place to facilitate exchange among solar cookers practitioners on enhancing local value chains. The working group on solar cookers of the Disabled Technicians Uganda Limited energy network sector in Uganda invited disabled colleagues and other practitioners in the solar cooker sector from all over Wakiso District in Uganda in order to discuss different solar cookers production systems and professionalization of solar cooker adoption, models of semi-industrial production, new technologies and testing requirements, different approaches to support individual producers, sustainability, standardization and monitoring.
A week later the solar cooker camp in Kiira Town invited members of the Disabled Technicians Uganda, National Solar Cooker Network with Solar Cooker practitioners from other District to join the association. Participants received practical training and comprehensive information on safety, emissions and solar cooker testing protocols. The camp furthermore facilitated in-depth discussions on issues of value chain promotion and monitoring, Presentations and field visits; demonstrated state of the solar cooker production. Local NGOs compiled reports on the distribution and marking of different models of solar cookers and selling to supermarkets.
