Count more than stoves distributed
Distribution is only the first step. Useful reporting tracks installation, continued use, functioning stoves and whether households still rely on traditional cooking methods.
Survey methods, sample size and data quality matter. A programme can meet a distribution target without achieving expected fuel savings.
Use a credible baseline
Fuel use and emissions must be compared with what would likely have happened without the project. Seasonality, household size and cooking practices can change the result.
Independent verification and registry acceptance are important checks, but they do not remove every source of uncertainty.
Report social outcomes carefully
Reduced wood demand and cleaner household energy can support environmental and health goals. Quantified claims about health, time savings or income require their own evidence.
