Synopsis (short abstract) The main paradigm for successful improved cook stove (ICS) programmes has always been and will always remain "understanding users needs". Lack of appreciation of this paradigm amongst field workers is still faltering many ICS programmes. Besides other factors play a role with respect to the success of an ICS programme. This paper gives an overview of important aspects which have to be taken into account in an improved cook stove program.

    This study draws on some case studies of land reforms in different South Asian countries. These reforms came on the national and international agenda in a major way in the post- World-War II period and were led by the transition theory, requiring agriculture to provide both surplus and labor for the growth of a modern industrial economy and leading to focus on efficiency in agricultural production (which would release resources -capital and labor- for investment in the modern industrial sector), rather than on distribution. The study also attempts to assess the role of peasant organizations and civil societies in bringing land reform issues to the forefront. Though the State is the main actor in the land reform process, the role played by peasants, workers, in fact the society as a whole, should not be underestimated.

The most common is cooking but in some areas, particularly where the temperature is low, stoves are also used for space heating. Although climatic conditions are a key factor, other influences such as differences between ethnic groups and relative wealth may also play a role. The workshop was co-organized with the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) based in Kathmandu, Nepal, which provided a forum for the pooling of information, exchange of experiences and achievements of programmes and persons in the region. Discussions held during the workshop concerned: A framework for Policy Formulation; Strategies for Technology Transfer and; Action Plans for Follow-up Activities and Programme Implementation.
