[Stoves] Mechanisms for Evaluating and Achieving Efficacy of Household Energy interventions

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Friends

 

The document "Mechanisms for Evaluating and Achieving Efficacy of Household
Energy interventions" from 

 

http://community.cleancookstoves.org/user_content/files/002/955/2955562/f467
d514fa79b61d6517039d61cef658-mechanisms-for-efficacy---forum-2013-outcomes.p
df  

 

is asking very pertinent questions that the CSI team in Indonesia has been
grappling with, and I think making very good progress. I recommend everyone
read and ponder the past portion, at least:

 

1. The plan that is developed will have to be implementable, technically
feasible, cost-effective, repeatable, and supported by multiple
stakeholders. Will we have capacity to do conduct and enforce testing
according to any requirements that are set? 

2. To implement any proposed plan, are there additional requirements beyond
protocols, standards, indicators, tiers, and best practices? For example, do
we need a serial numbering system? What are the data sharing needs? 

3. Stove usage and stacking is a particularly challenging issue to address.
What aspects can be addressed through standards versus using feedback from
customer purchase decisions? Does the mechanism change depending on whether
stoves are subsidized or not? 

4. What are the short-term practical mechanisms, and what are the long-term
implementable mechanisms? How can we plan to move from the short-term to a
sustainable long-term solution? 

 

They are correctly identified as 'over-arching questions'. There are other
questions in the rest of the text that will be of great interest to testers
and developers.
