PCIA Forum 2008 Banner <http://www.cadmusweb.com/Outreach/PCIA/pcia_africa_banner.jpg> After more than three years of working tirelessly to build support and momentum for a third-party organization to take on and grow the work of the Partnership for Clean Indoor Air, EPA is excited share the announcement of the launch of the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves. On September 21, 2010, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton <http://iaq.custhelp.com/rd?1=AvUO~wopBv8SkBD9GhQe~yL~Jvsq~z3~rppvDDr~&2=462 7> is expected to announce a significant commitment to a group working to address the problem of indoor pollution, with a goal of providing 100 million clean-burning stoves to villages in Africa, Asia and South America by 2020. The United States is providing about $50 million in seed money over five years for the project, known as the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves <http://iaq.custhelp.com/rd?1=AvUO~wopBv8SkBD9GhQe~yL~Jvsq~z3~rppvDDr~&2=462 8> . Mrs. Clinton is to make the announcement at the annual aid conference sponsored by the Clinton Global Initiative <http://iaq.custhelp.com/rd?1=AvUO~wopBv8SkBD9GhQe~yL~Jvsq~z3~rppvDDr~&2=462 9> , former President Bill Clinton <http://iaq.custhelp.com/rd?1=AvUO~wopBv8SkBD9GhQe~yL~Jvsq~z3~rppvDDr~&2=463 0> 's health, development and environmental organization.
