Digital Financial Services for LPG Use and Women’s Economic Empowerment in Ghana

This policy brief examines the potential of a mobile money–enabled digital financial service, GasPay, to support LPG adoption in Ghana. Drawing on field research and feasibility testing, the brief highlights how features such as savings incentives, micro-credit, and delivery services can reduce liquidity and transaction barriers to clean fuel use. The findings suggest that LPG-focused DFS platforms may not only increase clean cooking adoption and reduce emissions, but also strengthen women’s economic agency by improving financial predictability, transparency, and time use.
