Each year, the Alliance invites organizations working in the sector to share their annual sales and distribution numbers. This self-reported data is compiled and used to model sector progress toward increasing access to and adoption of cleaner, more efficient cookstoves and fuels. Based on results reported by partners this year and careful analyses of the trends in available data, an estimated 37 million stoves and fuels were distributed in 2016, of which 30.8 million (83%) were clean and/or efficient. Cumulatively, an estimated 116 million stoves and fuels, including 80.9 million clean and/or efficient, have been distributed since 2010.
