Supporting the development of a market for LPG clean cooking in Nigeria

Nigeria
GIZ, 2021 - 2023
Contract value: 609,885 EUR

This project felt within the NESP program. The NESP was co-funded by the European Union and the German Government – Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung – and was implemented by GIZ. According to the Global Clean Cooking Alliance’s Nigeria Country Profile of 2008, approximately 75% of Nigeria’s population relied on biomass for their cooking and heating needs. A dependency on biomass for cooking and/or heating purposes increased the pressure demand for local resources. Traditional cooking stoves are inefficient but remain prevalent in rural areas as a result of the low awareness of alternatives and via abundant wood available as a burning fuel. The project supported the LPG cooking sector of Nigeria by addressing gaps in the following fields:

  • Enabling framework
  • Business development
  • Access to finance

The project increased awareness and enthusiasm within the population towards shifting to LPG cooking and therefore away from the traditional cooking that carries health and security risks.The project also improved the supply of related products for LPG cooking and supported an enabling environment by improving access to finance.
