. . .  seven out of ten project areas visited firewood is freely available and there is little incentive for people to buy or use the cooker. Strong winds and dust disrupt solar cooking in some areas, although this could be solved by making the cooker more robust. Socio-economic factors appear to influence adoption more than the technical features of the cooker. The survey showed that choice of dissemination method or approach has affected adoption. This is true especially where the wrong choice of target group and area is made. Source: Stephen Gitonga, ITDG East Africa, Kenya References and Resources 1.
