Description
Tessafa Abrham Ashagrie and co-authors study improved charcoal cookstoves in Ethiopia in this 2024 paper. Better stoves burn cleaner and use less fuel than traditional ones. Yet uptake in the Wereta district has lagged behind hopes.
The team surveyed 308 households with questionnaires and interviews. Income, family size, schooling, and age each shaped whether a home adopted an improved stove. Cooking place and who decides in the home did not show a clear effect. Low awareness and high cost were the top barriers named. The authors urge programs to aim at the traits that matter and to cut cost and knowledge gaps for local families.
