 As for the sustainability criteria, the penetration rate and usage rate are very high: about 71.2% of interviewed households own one or more ICS, and 89% of households that own an ICS use it on a daily basis, more than three quarters even use it three times a day or more often. Overall, the satisfaction with their ICS is very high, with 95.3% of interviewees being either “satisfied” or “very satisfied”.

 The replacement rate was also very low. Reasons not to replace a stove are similar: the rationale is that it is still in good condition. 92.5% of ICS owners state they would replace the stove if necessary. However, a total of about 90 stoves were found to be in poor condition and a total of 40 households had replaced an ICS, making the calculated replacement rate around 44.4%. However, this calculation is based on a low number of observations and may not be accurate.

 Since 2006, EnDev Kenya has been promoting improved cookstoves in Kenya. As of June 2012, this project had already reached 3.352.000 people. Its focus and main aim has been to establish sustainable markets, allowing EnDev to eventually phase out activities and nonetheless ensure sustainable access to '''improved cookstoves (ICS)'''. Against this background, this sustainability study aims to evaluate to what extent a sustainable market has really been created in zones where EnDev has phased out activities.

 The paper uses GIZ-HERAs sustainability framework, a framework developed in order to evaluate the sustainability of cookstove markets. It includes four quantitatively measureable criteria (penetration rate, usage rate, maintenance rate and replacement rate) and several sustainability factors which influence these criteria.
 <u>The factors can be categorized into those that:</u>
 *encourage the continued supply of ICS
