  • Factors associated with continued use of LPG for cooking over a two-month period in peri-urban Cameroon, Kenya and Ghana

    Open AccessAbdul-Azeez Kuna, Emily Nix et al.ARTICLEWorld Development Perspectives2026

    To reduce household air pollution exposure, consistent use of clean cooking fuels (e.g. liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)) is needed. While several studies have investigated determinants of LPG adoption cross-sectionally, few have explored factors associated with its use over time. Two surveys were administered to primary cooks in three peri-urban communities: Mbalmayo, Cameroon; Obuasi, Ghana and Eldoret, Kenya, with an approximate two-month period …

  • The stifling burden of climate change on African public healthcare systems

    Open AccessJack Ogony, Judith Mangeni et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Background: Climate change is the greatest health threat of the 21st century to global health and primary health care. Despite being the least contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, Africa is disproportionately facing severe impacts of climate change, particularly on its health systems which is already neglected and underfunded. The crisis poses a fundamental threat to human health by undermining healthcare infrastructure, straining work…

  • Public health facility vulnerabilities, preparedness, and health outcomes for Plasmodium falciparum and dengue virus-infected children under 5 years with acute febrile illnesses in Western Kenya

    Open AccessJack Ogony, Diana Menya et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Introduction: Climate change and infectious health risks are threatening healthcare systems, cascading into devastating consequences globally. This crisis is altering the footprints of many vector-borne disease control programs. Sub-Saharan countries face complex challenges as patterns of vector-borne diseases transform, causing more than 17% of the global mortality. Climate change-related disasters are increasing worldwide, with Sub-Saharan Afri…

  • Multiple aspects of energy poverty are associated with lower mental health-related quality of life

    Open AccessMatthew Shupler, Miranda Baame et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2022

    Objective: Over 900 million people in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) live in energy poverty, relying on cooking polluting fuels (e.g. wood, charcoal). The association between energy poverty and mental/physical health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among women in SSA, who are primarily tasked with cooking, is unknown. Methods: Females (n = 1,150) from peri-urban Cameroon, Kenya and Ghana were surveyed on their household energy use and mental/physical h…

  • Widening inequities in clean cooking fuel use and food security

    Open AccessMatthew Shupler, Diana Menya et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Universal access to cleaner cooking fuels (including liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)) is a key target of Sustainable Development Goal 7. Currently, approximately 40 million Kenyans rely on polluting cooking fuels (e.g. charcoal, wood). While the Kenyan government aims to rapidly scale up use of LPG for cooking by 2030, COVID-19 restrictions and a 16% value added tax (VAT) re-introduced on LPG in 2021 have likely hampered progress in LPG uptake. We …

  • Experience and confidence in health technologies
