Our Experience And Interest In The Four PCIA Central Focus Areas

Social/Cultural barriers to using traditional fuels and stoves:

Cooking habits: the majority of users are illiterate and need a lot of information, communication and education.

Market development for improved cooking technologies:

There is a huge potential for development.

Technology standardization for cooking, heating and ventilation:

To manufacture improved wood or charcoal stove we have a standard.

Indoor air pollution exposure and health monitoring:

Not yet, as we don't yet have the proper instruments.
