| Summary: | The Nigerian LP Gas Sector Improvement
Study of 2004, produced by the Oil and Gas Policy Division
with ESMAP funding, lead the Program to draw the lessons
learned from the study and to envisage replicating this
exercise elsewhere in the Africa Region. The objective of
the Nigerian study had been to: (i) investigate and identify
reasons for the failure of the LPG market in Nigeria to live
up to its potential, (ii) develop a strategy for reviving
Nigeria s domestic LPG market, and (iii) expand LPG
availability to more consumers including to the poor. The
stated quantified objective was to reach the Regional annual
average of per capita consumption of 3.4 kg per capita in
Nigeria s urban areas, within a reasonable timeframe. In
light of the successful outcome of the Nigerian LPG Sector
Improvement Study, it has been suggested that lessons
learned there should tentatively be applied to other
countries likely to benefit from similar investigative and
analytical work. Two countries, Cameroon and Ghana, were
selected and their current and projected LPG markets were
analyzed. They are reported in Volume I (Cameroon) and
Volume II (Ghana). |
