| description |
In 2012, five years after the start of
Indonesia’s campaign to convert millions of households to
liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), the Indonesia Clean Stove
Initiative (CSI) was launched by the country’s Ministry of
Energy and Mineral Resources and the World Bank. All new
technologies, including sustainable energy solutions, are
introduced into a social context that affects how readily
they will be adopted and how theywill be used. This brief
describes experience integrating technical and social
aspects of clean cook stoves in Indonesia and lessons
learned in embracing complexity and facing realities inthe
field. The Indonesia CSI originally aimed at complete
replacement of the traditional (baseline) stove and focused
on wood-only users, following the conventional wisdom at the
time that clean technologies described in the international
literature on clean cooking, remainedpartly valid, other
salient factors added complexity to the situationand posed
more fundamental challenges: (i) cooking is not a standard
task; (ii) LPG users and wood users are more similar than
onemight think; (iii) biomass stove performance is context
variable; (iv) cooks are clearly aware of the negative
effects of smoke; (v) gender relations have to be taken into
account; The Indonesia CSI was supported by a teamof social
scientists thatincluded a sociologist,an anthropologist, and
astatistician coordinatedby a senior social development
specialist to bring context back to the core of the proposed
actions. The key lessons from the analysis are as follows:
(i) Women, who represent 96 percent of stove users,
wantdirect, immediate, and concrete benefits from newstoves;
(ii) A complex segmentation of fuel use appears, in which
cooking tasks complement fuel availability and income askey
variables; Indonesian cooks first want a stove that does the
job: powerful, fast, and easy to ignite and operate. But
durability, efficiency,and comfort during use also matter.
Half of the households in Central Java use both wood and
LPG, often for different cooking tasks and at different
times of day. |
