To find out more visit the link above and check out the Ashden Awards Blog http:ashdenawards.blogspot.com The Aprovecho Research Centre has assisted the Programme for Biomass Energy Conservation in Southern Africa (ProBEC) in designing biomass stoves for institutional cooking in Lesotho, Malawi, Uganda, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia. Over 1,500 institutional stoves have been produced and sold by entrepreneurs. Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world. There is a huge problem of de-forestation, partly as a result of the high population density and also because large areas of land are taken up with cash crops such as tobacco and tea, which also use enormous amounts of wood for processing. Fuelwood and charcoal are the main fuels for cooking both in homes and institutions in rural areas. In each country ProBEC has involved entrepreneurs in training workshops, where a woodstove of suitable efficiency for each country is developed and engineered with the assistance of an Aprovecho Research Consultant. The stoves are targeted at large institutions, such as schools, prisons and tea-estate kitchens, and use the Aprovecho 'Rocket' combustion approach to give high combustion efficiency and efficient heat transfer to the cooking pot. Practical experience suggests that using the stove saves at least 50% of fuelwood, sometimes more, which can give significant financial savings. The reduction in carbon monoxide and particulates provides a much healthier environment for institutional cooks. Stove production businesses are now well established in Malawi, Uganda and Lesotho, and have produced and sold more than 1,500 institutional stoves. Ken Chilewe, the main producer in Malawi, has made 700 of these.

In the first of a series of mini-films, Excellent Development explains how its approach to creating development through conservation is benefiting communities in Kenya. In addition to exploring each individual element of the charities holistic approach to soil and water conservation, these films also offer a valuable insight into how Sand Dams, a key element of Excellent Development's approach, represent an effective and necessary small-scale approach to strengthening communities' long-term sustainability. Whilst being critical to improving water supplies, food production, health and incomes for communities in semi-arid Kenya, sand dams are also a grassroots answer to fighting climate change, a benefit recently reinforced by the release of the government commissioned Stern Report. The Stern Report has renewed attention on the impacts of climate change in Africa highlighting their uneven distribution, with the poorest countries being most affected. Simon Maddrell, Excellent Development co-founder comments, "The development challenges in semi-arid Africa are completely different to the industrial nations. In semi-arid Africa it is conservation that can actually create sustainable development. Water and soil conservation provides farmers with the environment to create livelihoods by creating oases in semi-arid lands that can support water and food security. Arguably, the communities we are working with are doing far more to reverse the impacts of climate change than any of us in the West. They deserve our support, not just because they struggle to sustain their lives, but as global citizens concerned with the future of our planet."

The music video 8 Goals for Africa unites Africa's best known musicians to bring voice to an awareness-raising campaign that calls for commitment to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) — a set of eight internationally-agreed goals designed to reduce poverty, hunger, disease, and maternal and child deaths by 2015. As part of the campaign, developed by the United Nations System in Africa, the music video will be screened throughout the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa across all the fan parks and public viewing areas. The music video features Yvonne Chaka Chaka from South Africa, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Angelique Kidjo from Benin, Oliver Mtukudzi from Zimbabwe, Eric Wainaina from Kenya, Baaba Maal from Senegal, and the Soweto Gospel Choir from South Africa. World renowned jazz musicians Hugh Masekela and Jimmy Dludlu from South Africa are instrumentalists on the track, produced by Arthur Baker from the United States of America. UNIFEM is one of a number of UN agencies charged with supporting countries in moving forward on the MDGs. The eight goals, adopted by the international community in 2000, set targets for 2015 on eradicating poverty, achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality and empowering women, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, combating HIV and AIDS and other diseases, ensuring environmental sustainability, and providing financing for development. All eight MDGs touch essential aspects of women's well-being, and in turn, women's empowerment is critical for achieving the goals. The song and music video are available free of charge at the 8 Goals for Africa website. 8 Goals for Africa website: http://www.8goalsforafrica.org/ MDGs website: http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ (Publishers: UNDP, UN Action; Release Date: 14 May 2010)
