Background Information
Participants from the different corners of Bangladesh will be involved in the training. Bangladesh is a densely populated country with a population of about 120 million people. The natural environment includes mountains, rivers, grasslands and biomass is abundant. Energy problems include degradation of forests, erosion, siltation in riverbeds and electrical load shedding. About 25% of rural people have been involved in different NGO development programs.
The Institute of Development Affairs (IDEA) will be the implementing organization. IDEA has 14 paid staff working in their project area. IDEA has a 21 member general body and a 7 member executive board. IDEA is registered with the NGO Affairs Bureau and the Social Service Department, Government of Bangladesh.
IDEA programs consist of macro and micro policy support, social contracting, and rural development, including social mobilization, ICS, child education and health.
Financial support comes from UNICEF, ITDG, local donations and sale of materials and consultancy services,

Background information
Vietnam's population is more than 70 million. 80% of the population lives in rural areas. Almost all of the rural population uses biomass for cooking. It is necessary to introduce ICS to save fuel and protect user health.
Since 1980, many ICP projects, including SIDA's stoves and kitchens, CIDCE stove dissemination, ARECOP improved cookstove development, UNICEF revolving loan fund in stove construction and use have been implemented in rural areas of the north (Vin Bhu, Cau Bang, Yen Bai, Hung Yen, Thai Nguyen, Ha Tay). Some three day training on stove construction and the kitchen have been organized by RCAICE, RAFH and IEC department of the Vietnam Women's Union. However these projects and training were organized independently. Some of them have been good experiences; some of them bad.
In order to exchange experiences and make field workers capable in ICS programs, we would like to conduct a national training workshop on ICS.
Implementing agencies: RCAICE and VWU.
These two organizations with their expertise and strong networks currently work at encouraging community participation in ICS.
RCAICE will provide experiences and materials, while the Vietnam Women's Union will organize the training and contribute the counterpart budget. In addition, RAFH will be given a chance to integrate ICS with other development projects.
