In a study published in March 2024, the International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy (IJEEP), an international academic journal, stresses the need to accompany the use of clean cooking solutions in Africa with &#8220;poverty reduction and development measures&#8221;.\n\n    \n  \n\n","author":116,"featured_media":15729,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[745,995],"location":[512],"class_list":["post-24119","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-energy-2","tag-world-bank","location-ghana-en"],"short_url":"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3L6zJwW","have_related_news":"done","chapo":"Like several other countries in Africa, Ghana is actively working to increase access to energy by promoting clean cooking solutions, among other things, through reforms.","media":{"src":"https:\/\/ecomnewsafrique.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/05\/accra-capitale-ghana-550x360.jpg","srcset":"https:\/\/ecomnewsafrique.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/05\/accra-capitale-ghana-550x360.jpg 550w","sizes":"550px","alt":"accra capitale ghana","width":550,"height":360,"ratio":0.6,"credit_photo":""},"media-news-header":{"src":"https:\/\/ecomnewsafrique.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/05\/accra-capitale-ghana.jpg","srcset":"https:\/\/ecomnewsafrique.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/05\/accra-capitale-ghana.jpg 1170w","sizes":"1170px","alt":"accra capitale ghana","width":1170,"height":658,"ratio":0.6,"credit_photo":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.9.1 -
