Cooking Behaviour Study
Cooking behaviour in a specific area or community is determined by several and interconnected variables that include social, economic, cultural, and legal drivers, barriers and obstacles – i.e., behaviour determinants – in addition to the availability, acceptability, affordability, and awareness of cleaner cooking solutions. This by AVSI study was conducted in 8 countries (Côte d’Ivoire, Burundi, South Sudan, Kenya, Somalia, Congo Republic, DRC and Mozambique) with the following main objectives:
- Investigate the reasons why families use the current (traditional) cooking solutions, i.e., identify which are the perceived positive aspects (drivers, motivators) related to the
traditional cooking methods. - Investigate the ultimate barriers toward the adoption of Improved Cook Stoves (ICSs) and/or Clean Cooking Solutions (CCSs) by households.
- Identify possible drivers (enablers) toward the adoption of ICSs and/or CCSs by households.
- Recommend strategies and priorities in order to address the barriers and to take advantage of drivers within a behavioural change campaign.
