Fuel-Efficient Stove Programs in Humanitarian Settings: An Implementer’s Toolkit
Author: United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
Date: June 2010
Synopsis: This toolkit describes the step-by-step process of assessment, planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation required to determine if a Fuel Efficient Stove (FES) program is feasible and appropriate for a given setting, and if so how to design and implement it. These guidelines and associated tools represent standard good practices approved by the United States Agency for International Development/Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) for FES programs in immediate and protracted humanitarian contexts.
Haiti Trip Report
Author: Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL) & Darfur Stoves Project (DSP)
Date: April 2010
Synopsis: This report describes a fact-finding mission to assess the current situation regarding stove use in Haiti, as well as opportunities for intervention. Recommendations on a number of deliverables are provided, including feedback and observations on a variety of stoves, both traditional and improved, as well as the StoveTec stove and Berkeley-Darfur Stove. The report further evaluates supply chain and manufacturing capabilities in Haiti, as well as potential partner organizations for collaboration.
Evaluation of Manufactured Wood Burning Stoves in Dadaab Refugee Camps, Kenya
Author: United States Agency for International Development (USAID) & Berkeley Air Monitoring Group
Date: February 2010
Synopsis: The purpose of this study was to obtain information on the potential suitability of a new generation of manufactured biomass cooking stoves for refugee and Internally Displaced Person (IDP) environments, as well as disaster relief situations. The report combines rigorous quantitative stove performance testing using the Controlled Cooking Test protocol with as much qualitative assessment of the acceptability and usability of each stove as feasible during a time-limited visit to a refugee camp designated by USAID.

Fuel Efficient Stove Programs in IDP Settings: Summary Evaluation Report Darfur, Sudan
Author: United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
Date: December 2008
Synopsis: This report evaluates four types of FES being promoted by three different NGOs, to ascertain whether the stoves do indeed achieve their stated objective of reducing fuel consumption. Additionally, the report identifies behavioral and programmatic factors that influenced the degree to which FES programs were able to meet their fuel savings and other goals.
Assessing the Effectiveness of Fuel-Efficient Stove Programming: A Darfur-Wide Review Coming Soon
Author: ProAct Network
Date: September 2008
Synopsis: This review, undertaken on behalf of the Darfur Fuel-efficient Stove WorkingGroup (FESWG), assesses, from a programmatic perspective, the degree to which the stated objectives of FES projects in Darfur are being met, focusing specifically on protection, environment, livelihoods and health & safety. Key criteria include sustainability, replicability, geographic coverage, community participation and capacity-building.
Development and Testing of the Berkeley Darfur Stove
Author: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL)
Date: March 2008
Synopsis: The article describes the design and testing of the first version of the Berkeley Darfur Stove, an improved stove based off another fuel-efficient metal stove called the Tara. Alterations were made to the original design to improve the stability of the stove during vigorous stirring, as well as its performance in windy conditions. Additionally, a cooking test protocol was designed to better simulate cooking situations in Darfur during stove testing. Step-by-step directions to implement the Darfur Cooking Test Protocol and detailed descriptions and diagrams of stove modifications are included, along with fuelwood efficiency data.
