In Sub-Saharan Africa, the place of cooking and choice of fuel for cooking have detrimental effects on health due to excessive exposure to smoke. This study explores household-level exposure to the risk of cooking smoke and its associated determinants.
Energy poverty is a relevant issue in Africa, driven largely by income constraints. Eliminating or reducing this phenomenon could prove very vital in achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 7 as well as sustainable development and inclusive growth.
