Key Messages

The success of Transfrontier Conservation Areas (TFCAs) like the GLTFCA depends on addressing deep-rooted socio-economic and institutional challenges that drive communities toward unsustainable and illicit resource use. Low education levels, weak governance, limited livelihood options, and human-wildlife conflict continue to undermine conservation and development objectives, particularly for vulnerable and female-headed households.

Having a modern cooking stove at the household level provides an incomplete measure of cooking energy access. This limitation has necessitated the introduction of a multi-tier framework (MTF) to provide a more nuanced assessment. Thus, this study examines the overall, gendered, and rural-urban effects of cooking energy access under the MTF on health and time allocation to various household activities.
