Access to Cooking

The GTF measures household access to cooking based on the indoor air quality, cookstove efficiency, convenience, safety of the primary fuel, affordability, quality of the primary fuel and the availability of the primary fuel.

Table 4 shows the updated version of the matrix as used for accessing access to cooking solutions. 

Table 4: Multi-Level Matrix for Access to Cooking Solutions 

		Tier 0	Tier 1	Tier 2	Tier 3	Tier 4	Tier 5
Cooking Exposure	ISO’s voluntary performance targets (Default Ventilation) PM2.5 (mg/MJd) CO (g/MJd) gn	>1030 >18.3	<=1030 <=18.3	<=481 <=11.5	<=218 <=7.2	<=62 <=4.4	<=5 <=3.0
	High Ventilation PM2.5 (mg/MJd) CO (g/MJd)	>1489 >26.9	<=1489 <=26.9	<=733 <=16.0	<=321 <=10.3	<=92 <=6.2	<=7 <=4.4
	Low Ventilation PM2.5 (mg/MJd) CO (g/MJd)	>550 >9.9	550 <=9.9	<=252 <=5.5	<=115 <=3.7	<=32 <=2.2	<=2 <=1.4
Cookstove Efficiency	ISO’s voluntary performance Targets	<=10%	>10%	>20%	>30%	>40%	>50%
Convenience	Fuel acquisition and preparation time (hrs/week)	>0 7		< 7	< 3	< 1.5	< 0.5
	Stove preparation time (min/meal)	>= 15		< 15	< 10	< 5	< 2
Safety		Serious Accidents over the past 12 months
						No accidents over the past year that required professional medical attendance
Affordability		Fuel cost >= 5% of household expenditure (income)				Levelised cost of cooking solution (including cooking fuel) < 5% of household income
Fuel Availability		Primary fuel available less then 80% of the year				Primary fuel is readily available 80% of the year	Primary fuel is readily available throughout the year
