Initial findings from a study in rural Kenya suggest that the pandemic and lockdown have altered household cooking practices and fuel-use patterns. COVID-19 is nudging middle-income households to switch to modern cooking fuels (biogas and electricity), because these have been less disrupted by the COVID restrictions. However, without external support, COVID-19 will push poorer households further down the energy ladder. 2021-03-12T15:52:07Z 2021-03-12T15:52:07Z 2021-03-10 Brief http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/326471615352029248/COVID-19-s-Impact-on-the-Transition-to-Clean-Cooking-Fuels-Initial-Findings-from-a-Case-Study-in-Rural-Kenya http://hdl.handle.net/10986/35258 English Live Wire;2021/115 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Brief Africa Africa Eastern and Southern (AFE) Kenya
