3. Feedback on the Implementation of the GAPs The outcome for each organisation represented at the training was an Action Plan covering a specified six months period and showing how gender was going to be mainstreamed into an existing project. The GAPs were to be implemented by each participant or a team as most organisations had sent about two people each to develop a GAP for the organisation. The participants were required to provide feedback on implementation of their plans highlighting the successes and challenges and to receive feedback from the other participants to encourage them to continue with implementation of the GAPs. Presentations on implementation during which each institution gave feedback on the progress of implementation of their GAPs was the core session in this workshop. In each presenter summarised the background of the project including its location, objectives, implementation stage, target gro<strong>up</strong> and expected outcomes. The presenters then <strong>up</strong>dated the rest of the participants on progress made. This was followed by a question and answer session, including inputs from other participants and workshop facilitators, on how things could be improved as the implementation continues. Emphasis in all the reporting was on the achievements, experiences from the gender mainstreaming efforts and application of some of the skills gained from the previous training as well as the challenges faced by the project developers. 1. Rural Industries Promotions Company (RIPCO (B)) a) Title of Energy Project: Biomass Coal Briquetting b) Names of project implementers: Ms Onkabetse Magakwa and Mr Fana Kelebogile c) Description of Energy Project RIPCO B is implementing a coal biomass coal briquetting project from 2008 to 2012. The project partners are Mor<strong>up</strong>ule Colliery which contributes to the project by testing the briquettes, emissions, sulphur content, carbon content etc. The project is implemented from the RIIC the operational arm of RIPBO(B). The project is at verification stage to compare normal coal with the briquettes. The tests have shown that the briquettes are of good quality and produce low levels of smoke. Once the product has been validated, RIPCO will create awareness on the briquettes with the hope to attract male and female entrepreneurs to start producing the briquettes for the market. The technology transfer is expected to take place during 2012 when potential entrepreneurs and members of the public will be educated on how to produce and use the briquettes. d) Location: KANYE- RIIC (operational arm of RIPCO B) 8
e) Project period: 2008 -2012 f) Objectives: � Use coal dust and biomass to produce briquettes which can burn better than the Mor<strong>up</strong>ule coal. � Utilise the discarded materials (saw dust and coal dust) to produce useful briquettes. � Train male and female entrepreneurs in briquette making. g) Expected results (of the energy project you are working on) � Coal Briquettes produced and women and men set <strong>up</strong> their own businesses � Reduce drudgery associated with fuelwood collection and use. h) Summary of activities (of the energy project you are working on) � Produce Design Concepts � Produce Technical drawings � Develop a Prototype � Verify the briquettes performance � Modify the briquetting machine � Validate the briquettes according to the set parameters � Transfer the technology to the entrepreneurs and produce all necessary transfer package documentation. 9
