Mission statement:	Mission: Anomena exists to ensure best practices for improved livelihood and quality of life by increasing access to clean energy sources to promote household safety and environmental sustainability, while pursuing integrity, excellence, professionalism and reliability in service delivery. It stimulates the provision of training for women in technologies to enable them become effective energy entrepreneurs as well as develop skills to reduce poverty through general trading and service provision. HIV/AIDS education is undertaken in collaboration with other institutions. ANOMENA designs and produces good quality cloth for institutions and organisations as well as conducts workshops on institutional gender mainstreaming. Anomena commits to improve health, livelihood and quality of life by increasing access to clean, safe household, institutions, street food vendors’ and community energy technologies.

Number and type of members:	IMPROVED STOVE MANUFACTURERS, GENDER SENSITISATION. Primary Initiatives, Target Populations, and Scope of Work: Dissemination of LPG stoves has been started. Education on Gender and HIV/AIDS has been initiated in target communities. The initiative targets households using traditional forms of fuel and all street food vendors in Ghana without improved stoves starting from Tema. Women agro-processors in rural communities have also been targeted. These women play major roles in the small-scale sector not just as employees and self employed part time workers, but as entrepreneurs who cater indirectly to the bulk of workers in the formal sectors. They cook from the homes and carry the food for sale outside the homes. The operations of these women could be strengthened through the provision of improved clean energy sources. The stoves are provided and payment is done by installment. Awareness on climate change issues for rural/urban women has been done for fifty women and some have received LPG stoves already. Thus fifty women street food vendors and heads of households were sensitized with the support from the Ministry of Local Government. Design and production of institutional clothing.
