ABSTRACT
As is the case in many developing countries, Kenya's deforestation problems are exacerbated by widespread use of inefficient wood-burning stoves. In this paper, Eric Hyman describes a project to introduce improved stoves in the country. Among factors contributing to the success of the project were the selection of a technology that could be readily adopted by Kenya's stove-making artisans and the diffusion of information about the new stoves through existing cultural channels.
