USAID/OFDA conducted this evaluation to extract best practices for future FES interventions, and to examine how FES interventions were meeting fuel-saving goals.  Cooking technologies, fuel efficiency basics, stove-design comparison, program management and delivery, end-user outreach and education and household survey results are included.

Joint effort by the Uganda Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, GTZ, Aprovecha Research Centre, and Uganda Industrial Research Institute providing step-by-step directions to build the Rocket-Lorena and Shielded Fire stoves. Also includes some suggested considerations to be made prior to stove construction.

This study presents the results of an economic evaluation on FES (in this case, the Rocket Lorena stove): cost-benefit, cost-effectiveness and a calculation of other micro/macro economic consequences surrounding the economic benefits of FES use at the household level.  It evaluates the benefits of FES including: reduced cooking time, better health, preservation of forest reserves, preventing declines in soil fertility, etc.
