This is the report on the Regional Workshop on Stoves Used for Space Heating and Cooking at Different Altitudes and/by Ethnic Groups. Stoves serve a range of different purposes. 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. Summaries of a total of 24 country presentations and resource persons ar e included in the report in addition to the conclusions and recommendations, which focused on integrating different disciplines to address aspects like health and gender.
