Dear Partners,
We have published the 15th issue of the PCIA Bulletin!
The Bulletin provides information on the activities of the Partnership for Clean Indoor Air (PCIA) and its Partners around the world, and is intended to increase awareness and action on indoor air pollution, household energy and health. Regular features include spotlights on PCIA Partners, feature articles based on a thematic focus, and recent achievements and advances in household energy, indoor air pollution, and health.
The15th issue focuses on activities and achievements underway by PCIA Partners in Latin America and the Caribbean. This issue contains a collection of spotlight and feature articles on: Sun Ovens in Haiti; Notes from the Field from El Salvador; Improved stoves and guinea pig-based microcredit in Peru; GTZ activities in Bolivia; New funding awarded for CEDESOL scale-up activities in Bolivia; and PCIA capacity-building workshops. In addition, we highlight recent Partner activities in Brazil (IDER) and El Salvador (SHE).
As always, the Bulletin contains information on upcoming events and new resources in household energy, indoor air pollution and health.
We hope the PCIA Bulletin will be an important source of information for PCIA partners and others working to improve the lives of millions of women and children worldwide. We encourage you to submit updates on your work, announcements of new resources of interest to this community, and feedback on what information would be most useful and interesting for you to receive through the Bulletin.
The last submission date for Issue 16 is May 30, 2008. The theme will be PCIA Partner activities in Asia. For detailed information on the topics highlighted in the Bulletin or to view previous issues of the Bulletin, please visit www.PCIAonline.org/Bulletin.
