“…The promotion targeted urban households, public institutions requiring mass catering facilities and the informal commercial sector including small-scale food sellers (UNDP-Ghana, 2004). To enhance LPG access in rural areas, financial incentives were provided through the Unified Petroleum Price Fund scheme to motivate transporters who traveled to rural locations outside a radius of 200 km from the LPG production center in the coastal area of Ghana (Asante et al , 2018; Ahunu and Ackah, 2017). However, the expected results was not achieved, as of the 6% of households in 2004 and about 9% in 2005 using LPG as their primary source of fuel for cooking, 70% lived in the largest cities of Ghana – Greater Accra and Ashanti regions (Kemausuor et al and Duker, 2011).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a comprehensive review of the programmes being implemented with a view to ascertaining if they adequately address the energy needs of the poor more holistically and sustainably. Design/methodology/approach The content of this desktop review is based on information collected through a review of available energy policy documents from the Ghana Government and related governmental agencies, such as the Energy Commission and Ghana Statistical Services, international energy-related agencies, such as the International Energy Agency (World Vision, 2013), as well as other related web searches. Additionally, global and Sub-Saharan African energy access documents were reviewed by analysing secondary data from the World Bank and UN policy reports, statistical data, strategies, regulations, protocols and other related documents (World Vision, 2013). Furthermore, some policy documents on energy access and usage were explored mainly from Senegal and Ghana to ascertain governments’ policies, regulations and strategies in the implementation of energy access policies. Findings The paper offers all the various strategies being implemented in an attempt to establish a foothold on the problem of affording the poor with clean and affordable energies. The paper also presents the rich experiences of Senegal in its bid to see expanded access in liquefied petroleum gas usage by residential consumers. Originality/value The paper provides some policy and theoretical implications for improving Ghana’s energy access.
