What Drives the Transition to Modern Energy Cooking Services? : A Systematic Review of the Evidence

Some 4 billion people still cook with traditional polluting fuels and technologies. The adverse development impacts from households continued use of polluting stove-and-fuel combinations are significant. Transitioning this population to modern cook...

The adverse development impacts from households continued use of polluting stove-and-fuel combinations are significant. Transitioning this population to modern cooking services (MECS) - part of United Nation (UN) sustainable development goal 7 - remains a significant challenge. This report presents the findings of a systematic review of published evidence on demand- and supply-side drivers of and barriers to transitioning populations to MECS.

The report provides key recommendations for overcoming the challenges that inhibit large-scale transition to MECS: (i) better focused programs that consider the socioeconomic realities of the target groups, such as financial mechanisms that address affordability constraints; (ii) incorporating measures that concurrently tackle existing stove technologies and current fuel use practices that programs aim to displace; and (iii) address awareness creation as a separate MECS intervention, with public sector investments on this component. 2021-03-01T17:24:46Z 2021-03-01T17:24:46Z 2021-02-19 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/518251613714281312/What-Drives-the-Transition-to-Modern-Energy-Cooking-Services-A-Systematic-Review-of-the-Evidence http://hdl.handle.net/10986/35199 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: ESMAP Paper Publications & Research
