Mission
Through the creation, development, and application of scientific, technological, and humanistic knowledge, FEDETA works to achieve a world that is "More socially just, ecologically healthier, and technologically more human."
To achieve this, FEDETA:
Creates energy solutions based on the utilization of clean energy sources.®
Provides training and assessment services on entrepreneurial issues, achieving the satisfaction of our patrons through the promise of personalized solutions, a policy of continuous improvement, and quality systems management.

Clean Cooking Activities
M&E of small (~150 beneficiary) biomass cookstove project carried out February-June, 2013 an indigenous community in Ecuador's coastal lowlands. Monitoring includes IAP analysis and biomass (firewood) consumption measures, along with user feedback.
Partnership
FEDETA would ideally work to support the alliance as a project implementer and as a promoter of clean cookstove technology in Ecuador, where dissemination and adoption of these technologies lags far behind that of neighboring countries and others with similar socio-economic indicators in the region.®
While the organization has fairly minimal experience as a cookstove implementer, FEDETA brings extensive project implementation and education/training experience in the clean energy field to the table, along with familiarity with® and local contacts in many areas of rural Ecuador. Existing partnerships with local research institutions and national and regional nonprofits could be leveraged to create quality projects with robust M&E aspects, and former partnerships with governmental actors could be reinvigorated through CCS activities.
