The following are the countries that the partnership has had collective connections with and interest in, and which seem to fulfil the 4 key criteria of:

• ‘cooking landscape’ – dominated by biomass and a government seeking to do something different

• ‘modern energy landscape’ – modern energy access generally poor with challenges on supply chains and key infrastructure, but with a government wanting to improve the situation

• Poverty – the country as a whole is a DFID priority country and a large proposition of the population are poor

• Renewable resource – a substantial resource of renewable energy as yet barely tapped.
