A useful cooking solution must meet the needs of the people who use it. TABICA’s objectives include improving access to affordable, efficient technologies and strengthening the market around them. Performance depends on the stove, fuel, ventilation and correct use; improved does not automatically mean emissions-free.
Areas of focus
- User awareness and informed technology choices
- Quality assurance and links to relevant standards
- Distribution networks and after-sales support
Work with us
Contact the Secretariat to discuss member priorities or a proposed collaboration. Activities and opportunities are announced as they are confirmed.
Start with the user’s requirements
Households, food businesses and institutions have different priorities. A useful technology discussion describes the meals prepared, cooking volumes, available fuels, workspace and the people operating the equipment. Suppliers can support that discussion with clear product information, operating instructions and arrangements for maintenance and spare parts.
Make experience useful to others
Members can share structured feedback on usability, supply and after-sales support. Describe the equipment and circumstances clearly so that observations are not mistaken for universal performance claims. Institutions preparing a change can use the planning guide in our resource library to organise questions before approaching suppliers or qualified technical advisers.
