Sustainable Energy Infrastructure Solutions (SENIS)

Sustainable Energy Infrastructure Solutions is for SENIS! SENIS, the anagram for Sustainable Energy Infrastructure Solutions is CHANGE in ‘Tok Pisin’. Tok Pisin is the second widely spoken and written language in Papua New Guinea besides English and Motu. SENIS is about the paradigm shift in strategy, planning, and development of energy solutions for sustainable development.

Our interest in clean cookstoves and/or fuels comes from our experience growing up in Rural Papua New Guinea. Most or nearly all of our mothers still cook from smoke-filled kitchens make from thatched leaves roofs and open fires. Cooking stoves to us is open fires and cooking from wood. on stones or empty cans of fish. Women have more health risks to such cooking practices and it is evident that they age faster than their male partners. Hence, our interest to pursue such a partnership in anticipation to improve our womenfolk livelihood.

From the initial assessment and analysis, SENIS would be able to formally submit a proposal to source funding through Clean Cooking Alliance for procurement, distribution, and installation of cooking stoves and/or fuels. SENIS can do the Evaluation and Monitoring and report accordingly to the Clean Cooking Alliance.
