| dc.description.abstract | The study aimed to assess utilization of energy saving cook stove for women economic benefits, in the case of Dessie Town, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia. The research employed both quantitative and qualitative (mixed methods) approaches. Descriptive and exploratory research designs were also used in the study. To conduct this study, the researcher used simple random sampling technique by which a certain number of households are selected at random from the population of women using energy saving cook stoves in Dessie town. In this study, only primary data was collected through structured questionnaire. Data collected through questionnaires was analyzed using quantitative descriptive and inferential statistics with the help of IBM SPSS software version 26. The study revealed that energy-saving cook stoves are generally perceived to be available and accessible in the community, with cost savings and quality being major incentives for their use. The study also found that using energy-saving cook stoves has a positive impact on daily lives, family income, and monthly cooking expenses. In addition, all independent variables, including availability and accessibility, awareness of benefits, cost, and socio-cultural factors, have a moderately positive relationship with the economic and social benefits of using energy-saving cook stoves. This suggests that there is room for improvement in promoting the use of energy-saving cook stoves, particularly among those who perceive them to be less available. The researcher recommends that interventions should be designed to increase awareness and promote the use of energy-saving cook stoves, particularly among those who perceive them to be less available. In addition, it is recommended that efforts should be made to ensure that energy-saving cook stoves are affordable and of good quality. | |
