In the Lao People’s Democratic Republic household air pollution from the incomplete combustion of solid fuels is the top health risk, costing some 3.5 percent of GDP in lost productivity. To increase access to modern cooking and heating solutions in East Asia, the World Bank introduced a Clean Stove Initiative in 2012. Pilot projects were begun in China, Indonesia, and Mongolia, as well as Lao PDR. One of the first challenges was the need to bring all relevant ministries and stakeholders on board to help recognize the urgency of the problem and the magnitude of suffering that was occurring as a result of household air pollution. The other was to link the health situation with the need for a clean energy solution. 2016-05-09T20:25:58Z 2016-05-09T20:25:58Z 2016-05 Brief http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2016/05/26358258/lao-cookstove-experience-redefining-health-through-cleaner-energy-solutions http://hdl.handle.net/10986/24256 English en_US Live Wire;2016/63 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Brief East Asia and Pacific Lao People's Democratic Republic
