SURVEY METHODOLOGY AND THE RESPONDENT ORGANISATIONS
The survey was addressed to a variety of actors (NGOs, donors, humanitarian, private, and research institutions), who are or wish to be involved in the improved cookstove (ICS) programs around the world (focusing on South Asian, Southeast Asian and African stakeholders). The working group looked up the potential respondents’ contacts on available Internet databases and networks, but also gathered them from GERES employees’ personal contacts.
The survey’s final distribution list was comprised of 225 institutions with the following breakdown: NGOs (52%), private industries (14%), research institutions (10%), private consultancies (7%), development organizations and governments (4% each) and others. The actual survey respondents were represented by local and international NGOs (30% and 21% respectively, 51% together), private industries (17%), private consultancy service companies (15%), research institutions (10%) and others (see figure below)
