The Guide
EnDev is striving to promote behavioural change towards a widespread, sustainable und sustained adoption and use of cleaner cooking solutions by communities, households, and individuals. With a new practical guide, EnDev aims to share and exchange knowledge about successful approaches for the benefit of enterprises, donors, investors and policy makers.
This practical guide aims to address the following questions:
- Which are the most common behavioural determinants – including, if possible, the reasons for their existence – to be considered when designing, planning or implementing a project/activity aimed at promoting behavioural change in cooking?
- Which are the main tools to assess the cooking behaviour determinants of specific communities, household or individuals?
- How to promote behavioural change towards a widespread, sustainable and sustained adoption/use of cleaner cooking solutions by communities, households, and individuals.
