@rk70534@WFP I believe this may be because solar ovens are very slow to cook and of course do not work when there is no sun... i.e. early morning, in the evening etc
@rk70534@WFP Indeed, and we asked! The targeted population had been provided with solar ovens in the past, so they knew the solution very well... however in our surveys they were adamant in indicating their strong preference for LPG.
