We gratefully acknowledge the UK Aid-funded Modern Energy Cooking Services Programme for supporting the research that has enabled the writing of this working paper. We would also like to thank the team at the Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Research Organisation (STIPRO) who organised the Innovation System Historyworkshop held in Dar es Salaam on 5 February 2020, and we would like to extend our thanks to all those who participated so enthusiastically in the workshop.

Although the workshop provided a strong basis upon which we could conduct further research, the depth of that research was achieved thanks to the willingness of those we interviewed to give up their valuable time. We are deeply grateful for this and hope we have reflected the state of the electric cooking socio-technical innovation system satisfactorily.
