“…These results suggest that home conditions and number of rooms in a home determine households ICS use and as the number of rooms and the conditions of houses owned by households improves, the tendency of those households using energy-efficient stoves increase. This finding is similar to that reported in [46].…”

“…From those earning above 6000 birr/month, 13% use traditional three-stone stoves and 60% ICS. In both cases, a significant number of households preferred to use ICS indicating that the relationship between family income and stove choice is not clearly described while Sheng, He and Guo [34] and Woubishet [46] concluded that wealth and income are important determinants to adopt ICS.…”

“…This indicates that family size does not affect the households efficient stove use. However, studies conducted by Bekere and Megerssa [44], Geddafa, Melka, and Sime [45] and Woubishet [46] indicated that sex of household head and family size are important determinants in adopting Mirt stoves and biogas technology. In fact, the findings of Bekere and Megerssa [44], Geddafa, Melka, and Sime [45], in particular, are based on the adoption of biogas technology and Mirt stoves in rural areas, but not in informal settlements.…”

Background This study analyzed the factors affecting the use of improved cook stoves (ICS) in informal settlements of Addis Ababa based on the data generated from 450 households drawn from Woreda (Woreda is a local term used to describe the lowest administrative unit of Addis Ababa City Administration, Ethiopia.) 12 of Yeka subcity. It examined the interactive effect of households’ socio-economic backgrounds and energy sources on the adoption of ICS. The data were analyzed using descriptive methods and the multinomial logit model. Results Demographic and economic factors such as sex of the household head,[Household head is the one who has an income and decision-making power in family affairs (a husband for married people)], family size and family income have no relationships with households’ ICS use while education level, number of years lived in the area, type of home owned, and stove-operating costs have a significant influence on the choice of an ICS. Households that live in a good home (made from wood and cement) used more Mirt (Mirt is an improved firewood stove mainly used to bake Injera and bread.) and Lakech [Lakech also called Tikikil is an improved charcoal stove used to cook different kinds of dishes (non-Injera)] stoves than the traditional three-stone stoves. On the other hand, household heads with higher levels of education and who have lived more than 7 years in the area in a better home owned more ICS than the traditional three-stone stoves. Conclusions The availability, affordability, durability and simplicity to operate stoves, and subsidies affect the choice of an ICS. Energy sources that are commonly used by households in informal settlements also have a strong influence on the choice of energy-efficient stoves. Compared to ICS, heavy use of traditional three-stone stoves by households that already have access to electricity, directs government policies to focus on providing reliable electric service and subsidize those using ICS.
