5. Discussion
The mlc stove is under dissemination on site in some African realities, but feedback data from the field are not yet available.The design of the prototype was driven by local inputs in the R&D phase in order to tailor the technology to the local constraints.
Not only technical aspects such as the material availability or the local artisan skills were considered, but aspects such as the adaptability to local practices, the sustainability and the acceptance by users were also addressed.
