The objective of the LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) Program in Senegal is to substitute part of the charcoal consumed in urban areas with LPG, which is mainly imported (90% of consumption). The program was initiated in 1974 following a severe period of drought in the early '70s. The first LPG cooker model that was introduced was equipped with a cylinder containing 2.75 kg of gas. Later, another, more robust, model was introduced that was fitted with a 6-kg bottle that was better suited to the cooking habits and purchasing power of the target households.
