Longitudinal study report writer

Chemonics seeks a longitudinal study report writer for the ongoing USAID-funded Haiti Improved Cooking Technology Program, which aims to establish the foundation for a sustainable market for clean, efficient, and affordable cooking solutions. The mass demand for and resulting production of charcoal in Haiti contributes to widespread deforestation, leaving residents highly vulnerable to severe weather without the protection of natural, wooded watersheds. Chemonics works with the government, private sector, and civil society in Haiti to establish a thriving market for near- and long-term clean cooking solutions, including improved biomass cookstoves and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cookstoves. The longitudinal study report writer will conduct a longitudinal assessment of the performance of available improved cookstoves (ICS) in typical charcoal-using households to better understand the potential ICS market in Haiti. The primary objectives of the study are to understand consumer preferences and to explore key stove design issues that reduce efficiency and durability. The report writer will provide up to four months of assistance over a one-year period. We are looking for individuals who have a passion for making a difference in the lives of people around the world.
