[Stoves] FW: Grassroots solutions for scaling up improved cookstove access in Uganda

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Nolbert

 

Thanks for the links to the reports

Here is an interesting quote:

"The majority of households (94%) indicated willingness to purchase ICS. The
main motivations for purchasing ICS include fuel saving (41%), reduction of
cooking time (22%), stove durability (16%) and reduced kitchen smoke (10%)
as shown in Figure 7."

 

This is very different from the rating of stoves in Central Java where a
survey has covered this same issue of preferences. What the differences are
is not critical, but the fact that people have very different priorities is.

 

Conducting this same survey in South Africa provided a different ranking
with 'Pride of Ownership' coming third overall, and I am sure the same will
happen in other countries. Concerns and priorities are local.

 

In many places 'speed of ignition' is a top two or three priority. People
don't want to wait. (Gee - who knew?)

 

:)
