Measures
Urgent focus on increasing access to clean cooking fuels and technologies
Strong and concerted efforts with well-planned policy measures to be implemented to achieve the access to clean cooking. Access to clean cooking fuels and technologies has been and is likely to remain very poor in the current policy settings. By 2030, Strong policy measures are required to address the huge gap in clean cooking by 2030, Lao PDR households need to switch from cooking with traditional biomass to cleaner fuels and technologies. Achieving access to clean cooking fuels and technologies seem to be one of the biggest challenges for Lao PDR, as it has one of the lowest access rates to date. Immediate well-planned policy measures are to be put in place to ensure achievement of this target by 2030.
NEXSTEP analysis suggest a combination of electric cooking stoves, LPG cooking stoves and ICS should be used to achieve the universal access to clean cooking fuels and technologies. Choice of these technologies has been based on health benefits as well as cost effectiveness, as suggested by the annualized cost of technologies. A deeper study to better formulate the policy intervention would an ideal pathway but needs to be done immediately.
