Why has the adoption of improved cook stoves been so slow in developing countries? This GVEP International-produced report compiles a series of articles written by key stakeholders active in the promotion, dissemination and marketing of cookstoves globally. The main purpose of the report is to delve deeper into issues of why and how cookstoves take so much time and effort to be brought on to the market successfully. The report looks at the challenges associated with commercialising cookstove products and other reasons for market underdevelopment despite the enormous potential which improved cookstoves have as well as detailing several successes. There is a particular focus on populations in the South where the vast majority continue to depend on firewood and charcoal for cooking.
