This report documents the findings from the first phase of methodologies review of the Field Study on Quantifying and Measuring Climate, Health, and Gender Co-Benefits from Clean Cooking Interventions. This field study is an activity implemented under the programmatic Advisory Services and Analytics for the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) Efficient Clean Cooking and Heating Program (P156948). The objective of this study is to review existing methodologies and field experience, and then design and conduct a field study to quantify and measure all three co-benefits—black carbon, health, and gender—from selected clean cooking intervention(s). This study includes the W+ Standard amongst other methodologies, tools, and monitoring approaches, which was evaluated for its strengths and weaknesses. The long-term goal is to develop methodologies that will support the effective implementation of clean cooking interventions and the estimation of their climate, health, and gender co-benefits.
