Development and Implementation of ICS Programmes

National Workshop (Indonesia)

RWEDP Report No.54, 2000

Table of Contents

The socio-economic and environmental benefits of improved cook stoves (ICS) and their benefits in terms of improved health and relief of drudgery, particularly for women and children, may be obvious. However, the complexities associated with the design, production and introduction of improved stoves are not always appreciated.

To rectify this situation RWEDP and the Asia Regional Cookstove Programme (ARECOP) jointly developed training modules for use in national training courses to be held throughout the region. The national training courses are envisaged as being highly participatory and aim to transfer the relevant design and dissemination skills by hands-on training. Such courses, it is believed, will lead to better quality control and more effective strategies for meeting users needs and overcoming any obstacles to stove adoption.

In order to test out these training modules, a national training course was organized in Indonesia and this report describes the outcome of this course as well as provides recommendations for follow-up national training courses to be organized jointly by RWEDP and ARECOP.
