Abstract
Institutional e-cooking - using efficient electric appliances such as electric pressure cookers (EPCs),
boilers, and induction stoves - is fast becoming a practical and affordable alternative to biomass cooking in schools, health facilities, and community institutions across Africa.
This handbook was developed to help governments, schools, technology providers, and development partners plan, finance, and manage successful transitions to e-cooking. It draws from field experience in Kenya and builds on the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) School eCook Transitions framework.
This handbook focuses on how to deploy and scale e-cooking technologies in institutional settings — from
initial readiness assessments to installation, financing, and long-term adoption.URL
