Our Experience And Interest In The Four PCIA Central Focus Areas
In addition to using posters and flyers to provide information on operations & maintenance of the ICS, field workers address habits in operations and maintenance of the ICS with trainings and demonstrations.
By using a commercialization approach.
Until now we have disseminated ICS using a mould and mass produced stove using a pattern for the dimensions and improved the ventilation by installing chimneys, windows, cooking windows, and making a gap in the roof. The area of the ventilation is not less than 20% of the area of kitchen floor.
Using Bacharach CO monitor and using ambient air quality standard (EPA, OSHA, Ministry of the Environment of Indonesia).
Relevant Publications or Studies
We have publications in Indonesian language: ASAP (meaning smoke), many manuals about how to make ICS and kitchen Improvement.
