Last year we were asked by GERES to help promote their GLOBAL SURVEY TO IDENTIFY IMPROVED COOKSTOVE PROGRAMS’ NEEDS IN THE LEAST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES OF ASIA AND AFRICA.
We love the work that GERES does, so today we are happy to oblige their follow up request to share the results of the survey.
If you’re too curious, here’s a sneak preview of the survey’s conclusions:
The survey aimed at having general feedback from the ICS (Improved Coostoves) program practitioners and concerned actors about the programs’ characteristics, common interests and challenges. Moreover, it also gave an opportunity for the respondents to evaluate their expertise and needs and to think forward to up-scaling and expanding their areas of expertise. To achieve the objective of the large scale dissemination of effective biomass equipment, the improved cookstoves (and biomass fuel) supply chain actors need a strong network, professionalization of services and follow-up.
