Abstract
CEIHD worked with the Nicaraguan non-governmental organization, Proleña, on a project to evaluate the health benefits of its Ecostove, an efficient and low-emissions wood cookstove. Preliminary results from our World Bank-funded study show that the affordable Ecostove reduces emissions by approximately 80 to 90% (depending on the stove model). CEIHD also supports Proleña's efforts to expand the availability of the EcoStove in Nicaragua and neighboring countries.
