Module 6: Communication and Awareness Raising
Achieving adoption and sustained use of clean household energy requires widespread knowledge and awareness of clean energy options and their benefits. It is important that these messages reach all members of society, from stakeholders who play a role in designing and implementing clean household energy programs, to healthcare workers who can promote clean energy use among their patients, to community members who can benefit from clean energy adoption.
This module offers guidance on how best to communicate and raise awareness about the health and livelihood impacts of household energy among key audiences (including key stakeholders, the general public, health professionals, etc.). It also includes tools for planning campaigns to raise awareness about the benefits of clean household air and generate community-based demand for solutions. Communication materials to educate the public about the health and livelihood risks associated with household energy use are also included.
