Seite 7 Page 7 1. Traditional cooking practices – great burden to women and children  Health: exposure to IAP - causes respiratory diseases and increases early child mortality.  Poverty trap: Time consuming tasks as fuelwood collection keep women from generating additional income or children from going to school.  Security: While collecting fuelwood in distant areas (due to fuel shortage), women and children are at higher risk to become a victim of crime Why Address Gender Equality in Stove Work?

Seite 8 Page Why Address Gender Equality in Stove Work? 2. Labour division – women and men have different responsibilities and impacts on ICS work  Job creation: Women are seldom included in technical trainings on ICS  Key persons: Women and men are key persons for the successful dissemination of ICS: - Women built up good rapport to other women - Men usually hold the money

Seite 9 Page 9 Gender in EnDev Kenya  EnDev Kenya has focused on job creation for men and women rather than a common gender mainstreaming approach  Two program indicators:  35% income increase for women  Employment - above-average job creation for women  Important to recognize the different contributions and roles of both genders

Seite 10 Page 10  Project recognized women role in promotion, adoption and use of ICS  Offer opportunity and encourage their contribution /participation 1. Micro level  Women are included at all levels of VC to increase the likelihood of ICS adoption and long term use  New groups include men and women  Groups include old and young members to satisfy future needs 2.Meso level – women are targetted and involved in stove work as entrepreneurs and trainers along the VC Approach

Seite 11 Page 11 Areas of involvement - 1 Promotion /Marketing  Women-to-women communications about the advantages of ICS have high credibility and create more market for stoves while men are more free to expand the marketing radius  Women and men with good reputation and acceptable in the community are selected to spear head promotion activities locally (increasing awareness and creating demand for ICS ) Training  Women relate more easily, listen and trust their fellow women, however both recruited to train at any level of VC  Trainings done at the village to allow women to participate and be able to go back home, while men train users in far away villages

Seite 12 Page 12 Areas of involvement - 2 Consumer education  As stove users, it is easy for women to teach their fellow women but both have opportunity to offer consumer education M&E  Women play a key role in providing feedback and lessons learned in the improvement process. Both genders involved in monitoring and evaluation process Capacity building along VC  To achieve sustainability and further scaling up, training is done for both men and women in stove production, marketing and installation

Seite 19 Page 19  Policy HHE sector is largely unregulated  Financing Lack of access to finance for SME with special consideration to women needs (have nothing to offer for collateral, keep away)  Cultural norms - firewood and domestic chores considered a woman´s problem - firewood shortage not perceived as a problem Challenges

Seite 20 Page  Limited opportunities for women Most not well educated, are tied down with other family obligations (therefore cannot move as easily to distant places, but they seem to be very active otherwise)  Challenges for and among development partners Lack of experience / know-how in stove dissemination  Carbon finance Carbon finance often offers stove for free for short term profit, this distorts stove market development!! Conflict of interest between sustainability of the intervention and short-term profits Challenges

Seite 21 Page  Commercial approach provide basis for sustainability of stove activities  Income generation opportunities remain a major motivation for continuation with multiple positive impacts on women  Recognizing the role of women, offering opportunity and encouraging their participation - will increase the likelihood of ICS adoption and long term use  Involvement of more stakeholders for broad mainstreaming of stove activities carries a greater chance of sustainability ( energy, health, environment, gender, agriculture) Lessons Learnt
