Overview 2016

"Unbelievable things have happened in 15 years. If we started in Madagascar in 2001 in a tent with the simplest work and structured the first processes, today our eight ADES centres work at a top level," is how the 2016 activity report begins. The anniversary celebration in Switzerland starts on 25 September with 95 invited guests at the Stadtgärtnerei Hubertus in Zurich and ends at the CUBE restaurant.

On 25 January, Isabelle Marthaler-Marty announces: "It is with great pleasure that I inform you all that today we have passed the threshold of a total of 100,000 solar and energy-saving cookers sold". Donations and CO2 contributions are essential for this success. The 2016 operating income is just under CHF 2.6 million. At the same time, it is stated that CO2 prices "are coming down and will continue to come down drastically in the future".

A detailed risk analysis for the areas of personnel, material assets, finances, politics and evacuation is produced. The responsibility for the IT department is fully transferred to Madagascar. From now on, two staff members handle all requests and challenges in all centres.

The antenna in Antsirabe, which opened in 2013, is being rebuilt.

ADES reports in Bulletin 2016-1 that the association covers eleven of seventeen SDGs. These are global goals for sustainable development - Sustainable Development Goals SDG - which the heads of state of 193 UN member states agreed on at the end of 2015 and which they want to achieve by 2030.
