Abstract: Efforts to scale up access to clean cookstoves have typically focused on promoting technically more efficient cooking technologies. Important sociocultural aspects of cooking such as taste, cooking practices, cultural norms and gender roles have been given less attention. There is an urgent need to understand the behaviours, practices and perceptions of those households that will potentially be on the receiving end of interventions. This report presents a study that worked with residents of a rural community to co-develop energy transition scenarios.
