Why A BURNING CONCERN?

Massive roll-out of cleaner cooking solutions stoves can save lives and forests. But past experience shows that convincing people to use more efficient technologies is far from easy. The best efforts by dedicated stakeholders encounter financial, political and social/cultural barriers that can be unique to any given context while also interacting - or indeed, undermining progress.    

​

A BURNING CONCERN seeks to address a three-pronged challenge:

​

• while experts produce reams of data and information about vital aspects of the cleaner cooking challenge, much of it is buried in big reports; 

• to implement effective policies and programmes, actors in related fields need quick access to easy-to-understand content that reflects the full range of things they need to consider; 

• ultimately, billions of people need to be convinced that adopting new tools and behaviours is in their own best interest.

EnAct's model (see right column) shows that ongoing, issue-specific reporting can  deliver value to across all three stakeholder groups -- including by promoting engagement across sectors.
