Abstract:
The National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) fifth's Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey is used in this dissertation to examine the factors that influence how much energy is used in the home in Rwanda and to evaluate the aspects that are likely to impact household decisions when it comes to choosing an energy source for various activities like lighting and cooking. A multinomial logit selection model was employed for identification and analysis. The findings show that a family's choice of cooking or lighting is influenced by its location, income level, household size and education. It reveals that rural households are more likely than urban households to use traditional energy. In addition, high-income earners are more likely to use modern energy for cooking or lighting.
