One of the program’s goals was to create a thriving market for clean cookstoves, something that previous programs implemented by NGOs and donors had failed to do because they lacked scale and did little to involve the private sector. While the CSI took into account known barriers, such as lack of consumer awareness of available products, affordability of stoves, and weak retail and institutional capacity, it also found that other sociocultural factors, such as gender dimensions, cooking skills, type of foods cooked and others, added more complexity to the decision to adopt clean cookstoves. The key was to understand consumer preferences and adoption patterns and to convince suppliers of the need to design clean stoves that met these preferences rather than focusing on supply-side approaches to develop the market.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span lang=EN style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333'>“</span><span lang=EN style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Efforts in these two provinces focused on three key components: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span lang=EN style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><b><span lang=EN style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>An innovative stove subsidy approach. </span></b><span lang=EN style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>In order for the government to provide market subsidies, cookstoves must meet pre-defined quality criteria.
