Market Intelligence on Improved Cook Stoves in Mtwara Region ICS Taskforce Tanzania November 2013 About ICS Taskforce Facilitated by SNV, the ICS Taskforce of Tanzania was created in 2011, with the Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM) as the Chair and the Tanzania Renewable Energy Association (TAREA) elected as the secretariat. The ICS Taskforce was initiated with the aim to increase coordination in the Improved Cook Stove (ICS) sector, for stakeholders to better understand and develop the sector through multi-stakeholder processes, while doing the necessary studies to come to a joint way forward for further ICS market development in the country. This document is one of the resulting documents of the ICS Taskforce. Other documents include: a technical assessment report of ICS in Tanzania, market intelligence studies for ICS in different regions of the country, ICS policy analysis, and a Country Action Plan for Clean Cookstoves and Fuels.
