The Institutional Energy Programme

In January 2010 STT launched, with the encouragement of the Regional Administrative Secretary (the most senior civil servant in the Dodoma Region), an additional programme; the Institutional Energy programme (IEP).

The aim of the IEP is to provide:

• an institutional sized Rocket stove to primary schools and orphanages in the Dodoma urban area thus enabling them to provide a hot meal for their students;
• a tree seedling or plant seedling nursery and, where there is enough room, a trial plot where children can grow horticultural or field crops which are inoculated with mychorrizza;

This work will be supported by training relevant staff and children in how to establish and maintain the nurseries and plots.

As the Dodoma urban area incorporates 91 state primary schools and 14 orphanages we have set ourselves a considerable task. The initial planning for the pilot school and pilot orphanage is now underway. This will be followed by an audit of the schools and orphanages and the development of a strategic plan for completing the IEP.

We’ll keep you posted on progress....don’t forget to come back soon.
