The stove improvement follows the test methods, Water Boiling Test, Controlled Cooking Test and the Kitchen Performance Test, combining scientific development approaches and the involvement of end users and their perspectives. A population survey was used to identify social-cultural cooking habitats, ICS needs and existent ressources.
Seminars and demonstrations in environmental and ICS relevant issues and in-service training shall involve the community to comply with the requirements for a sustainable stove market.
