Abstract
Many stakeholders are involved in the Kenyan clean cooking sector, often having diferent perspectives, interests and
agendas about the adoption, impacts and scaling-up of clean cooking interventions. Understanding the perceptions of non
end-user stakeholders can enrich current debates about clean cooking options that are usually informed by rigorous, yet
highly compartmentalized research. Through expert interviews, we elicit the perceptions of 27 stakeholder organizations
involved in the clean cooking sector in Kenya. The analysis ofers unique insights about the divergences and convergences
of their perceptions regarding the key drivers, barriers, and impacts of clean cookstove adoption. Furthermore, it hints how
such diverse perspectives can be mobilized to inform ways forward to enhance stove uptake and sustained use, eventually
increasing the sustainability in the sector.
