Abstract

This study, utilizing data from the 2020 Somaliland Demographic and Health Survey, investigates the prevalence of household solid fuel use in Somaliland and the factors associated with this practice. Our analysis reveals that a staggering 97.2% of households rely on solid fuels like wood and charcoal for cooking, with only 2.8% utilizing clean energy sources. We employed multilevel logistic regression to examine the influence of individual and community-level variables on fuel choice. Results highlight the significant roles of education level, gender of the household head, wealth status, and location of cooking in shaping fuel selection. The study, aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy, emphasizes the urgency of promoting clean energy alternatives, improving cooking practices, and addressing the health and environmental impacts of solid fuel usage to foster a more sustainable energy landscape in Somaliland.

索马里兰家庭固体燃料使用及相关因素：对2020年索马里兰人口与健康调查数据的多层次分析。

本研究利用2020年索马里兰人口与健康调查的数据，调查了索马里兰家庭固体燃料使用的普遍程度以及与这种做法相关的因素。我们的分析显示，97.2%的家庭依靠木材和木炭等固体燃料做饭，只有2.8%的家庭使用清洁能源。我们采用多水平逻辑回归来检验个人和社区水平变量对燃料选择的影响。研究结果强调了教育水平、户主性别、财富状况和烹饪地点在燃料选择中的重要作用。该研究与可持续发展目标7：负担得起的清洁能源相一致，强调迫切需要推广清洁能源替代品，改进烹饪方法，解决固体燃料使用对健康和环境的影响，以在索马里兰建立一个更可持续的能源格局。
