Global Allicance for Clean Cookstoves – Terms of reference: study and mapping of global consumer/end user finance models.
This study will be conducted in two phases. The first phase will identify and map the current consumer finance options and actors providing finance globally for consumer durables and provide a detailed analysis of those options with the greatest potential to reach scale in the clean cookstove and fuel sector. This information will be used to inform the Alliance’s strategy for supporting consumer finance and determine where additional resources should be applied in order to have the greatest impact on the market. The second phase of the study will examine viable consumer finance partners and products to serve consumer segments likely to adopt cookstoves in country- level mapping studies. These segments will be identified by consumer segmentation studies already commissioned by the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves.
The work plan should be submitted to Stevie Valdez at investment@cleancookstoves.org, no later than Friday, March 7, 2014. Applicants will receive confirmation of receipt of application. All applicants will be notified of the final decision no later than March 24, 2014.
