DESCRIPTION:Steven Hunt from Practical Action will be talking about his la
 test work looking at Delivery Models for energy access to help overcome th
 e barriers to implementation and sustainability. \n\nHe'll be discussing t
 he framework Practical Action are developing for designing more effective 
 energy access projects by talking through several examples of\nPractical A
 ction projects which have achieved scale-up.  The main examples will draw 
 on experiences with Micro hydro in Peru\, Sri Lanka and Nepal sector devel
 opment\, and the development of the improved Anagi stove in Sri Lanka whic
 h has sold over 3m units.  He'll describe the various features\nof the app
