In two new working papers<\/a>, a team led by the University of Sussex report first year findings from their Modern Energy Cooking Services<\/a> (MECS) research project mapping Kenya<\/a> and Tanzania\u2019s e-cooking socio-technical innovation systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These \u2018maps\u2019 consist of visualisations of the actor-networks and actor-relations in the system along with elaborations on who the actors are, the extent and nature of their interactions, sketches of significant projects, and includes a discussion of emerging issues relevant to the further development of the innovation systems in the two countries. It also includes some summary attention to the systems\u2019 context and enabling environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on this characterisation, they conduct a socio-technical innovation system analysis to determine strengths and weaknesses and derive several recommendations that the MECS Programme could implement to further its aims more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MECS is a \u00a340 million UK Aid funded multi-partner programme of activities, led by Loughborough University, to promote modern energy cooking services in the Global South.<\/p>\nFollow Sussex Energy Group \"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
