    (University of Ghana, 2019-05) Ablorh, Q.N.A.
    The purpose of this study was to propose sustainable financing and business models to tackle the financial and marketing/distribution barriers hindering the widespread adoption of improved cookstoves and clean fuels in Ghana. The study employed the mixed-method research approach through the use of questionnaires and interview guides for collecting primary data. Furthermore, desk review was undertaken with regards to financing and business models in the Cookstove sector. Analysis of data was done through the use of descriptive statistics, with the results presented in frequency tables and graphs. From the findings, sustainable financing and business models on Promotion, Marketing, Financing and Pricing have been proposed for the development of the Cookstove Sector in Ghana. The study was necessary since sustainable financing models and market-based approaches are pre-requisites for achieving scalable dissemination of improved cookstoves and clean fuels in Ghana.
