Objective: Establish a baseline to inform progress towards the goal of clean cookstoves and fuels adoption, and ensure proper monitoring and evaluation practices. After strategically planning for the work needed to develop the improved cookstoves and fuels markets in your country, it is essential to track and report the progress so that as a group you can evaluate areas of success and areas for improvement. Clearly understood and transparent indicators should be used that can measure results from the most basic project parameters like cookstove sales, adoption rates, household air pollution, fuel collection time, and fuel and cost savings, to broader objectives regarding saving lives, empowering women, improving livelihoods, and protecting the environment. The Alliance has developed a results reporting framework that can be used by stakeholders to monitor their work and in the near future will also provide stakeholders with online tools that will increase the ease with which they are able to track this information. Monitoring and evaluation tools: Results reporting framework () Ideas about other ways to encourage monitoring and evaluation Objective: Facilitate communication and cross border learnings. While we encourage stakeholders to learn from one another through the Community section of the Alliance’s website and at the Alliance’s regional and global events, the Alliance will also work in the coming months to connect each partner country to other countries that have similar developmental and socio-economic characteristics. By analyzing these factors and closely examining markets by country, the Alliance can connect countries so that they can share useful and applicable information about what types of actions have been successful at growing their improved cookstoves and fuels markets. Note: reporting to the Alliance on progress and challenges will be important in helping us evaluate where lessons learned could be the most applicable. Learning from other countries: Annual Regional Forums Biennial Global Forum Alliance will be in touch with you about this step in the coming months as we prepare this analysis for all of our partner countries. Objective: Ensure that the sector is using the most relevant information, monitoring its work, and seeking continued improvement by repeating the previous steps every three years. In a growing and evolving market and such as improved cookstoves and fuels, it is essential that the sector is able to keep up with new innovation, information, and insights. To make sure that each country’s consumers are able to benefit from the latest technological advances in areas like cleanliness
