| Since our funding is running out, we depend on donations to run energypedia next year. Energypedia pages are checked by over 60,000 people each month. If everyone reading this gave a small amount (as little as 1€), we could keep energypedia open and free for years to come. The price of a coffee is all we need. Thank you!

Today’s different financial approaches have empowerd low-income households to not only base their purchasing decisions on their affordability but on form, functionality and quality of products, among other aspects. For example, when purchasing a product people place a high value to colour. However, in different markets the same colour might have various interpretations and/or associations, in consequence these need to be considered, particularly at the time of entering a new market and/or introducing a new product.
This article explains the concepts of democratic and user-centred design, lists feedback from users on design aspects of Pico PV and cookstoves, and points out a series of questions that have not been addressed yet.
