| Summary: | This study forms part of a broader study
by the Oil and Gas Policy Division(COCPO) to
identify reasons for the Liquid Petroleum Gas market (LPG
market) failure in some selected countries,
including Ghana. It is sequel to a similar
study carried out in Nigeria in 2002. It is
expected that lessons learned from the
Nigeria study will be cautiously applied to other
countries that are likely to benefit from similar
investigative and analytical work. The objectives of this
study are to investigate and identify impediments to LPG
market development in Ghana; develop a strategy for market
take-off / expansion for Ghana s domestic LPG market;
expand access to LPG by all, including the poor in Ghana. The
target is to achieve a per capita LPG consumption equivalent
to the average of other West African countries which,
according to data available from a World Bank/ World LPG
Association (WLPGA) study for West Africa, has been
estimated to be on the order of 3.7 kg. Another
recent study, the UN Millennium Project, recommends, inter
alia, that countries should ensure that at least 50% of
households currently using traditional biomass for cooking
be provided with easier access to modern cooking fuels by
2015, if they are to achieve their Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs). |
