Impact Evaluation of Improved Cooking Stoves in Burkina Faso, 2013.
Director Policy and Operations Evaluations Department (IOB). Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Netherlands.
This report combines the results of two rigorous impact studies on activities implemented by FAFASO: one study on portable metallic ICS for domestic use and one on fixed ICS for use by artisanal beer brewers (most of whom are female). The evaluation was set out to answer two main questions: firstly, if the development of a market for ICS has triggered uptake of ICS by households and productive units and, secondly, what the impacts have been in terms of reducing wood energy use, saving money and time, and improving the workload and health of the users.
