Furthermore, practitioners have not been able to leverage existing mainstream distribution networks for promoting improved cookstoves. The session explores the potentials for leveraging the existing networks for effective last mile distribution. 17:00 Designing an Aspirational Product (1hr) Efficiency and usability are two critical design dimensions for an ideal improved cookstove. Any compromise on these key parameters significantly deteriorates users’ satisfaction. An ideal improved stove is a perfect blend of the two features.
