【 摘 要 】

Adoption of liquefied petroleum gas(LPG) as a clean cooking solution is lagging behindKenya's 2030 development goal, despite severalgovernment initiatives along the LPG value chain. Until now,the government's strategy focused on reducing the costof LPG and increasing its use among lower-income Kenyans.Sustainable uptake may be accelerated by taking vigorousregulatory steps to reduce the consumer price and minimizeunlicensed LPG sales. Some measures include reviewing theeconomics underpinning the intervention, creating anenabling environment for LPG adoption by upper- andmiddle-income groups, developing annual uptake targets, anddevising a better metric to measure progress.
