The Compelling Reason to Act
Majority of the rural households living on less than a dollar a day, the initial cost of cylinder and accessories at an average of 400 dollars is not affordable. It is not only expensive for the people at the bottom of the pyramid, it is unreachable competing with food and shelter at that basic level. The gap is a yawning chasm and households would rather choose food over efficient fuel.
Kenya’s LPG per-capita consumption lags behind countries in Africa at 3.65 Kg in rural and 9.87 in urban areas compared to Senegal which is at 75Kg according to MOE reports. Even with an annual growth of 14% of LPG consumption, a lot more needs to be done to catch up with the rest of the word in promoting LPG. These statistics could change with the introduction of 0.5 kg.
At the household level, the key issues to consider are women’s and children’s health. Indeed, World Health Organisation studies show that one hour of using firewood has the same health impacts as smoking a packet of cigarettes.
