Abstract
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.
