The energy contribution to reducing poverty in rural Cameroon

The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship energy and poverty in rural Cameroon.
.
The method implementation is primarily a statistical analysis which led to the observation of rates of access to energy sources included in the study: firewood, electricity, cooking gas and kerosene . Secondly, econometric analysis has started to construct a simultaneous equations model, the estimate was made by the method of least squares double.
.
The results show that household poverty, and the distance separating the housing from the power pole behind statistically effective access to electricity . This reflects a poor household has limited possibilities to have effective access to electricity. The relationship energy and poverty revealed that effective access to electricity explains poverty in rural areas, suggesting that poverty may also be caused by low energy consumption. However, effective access is a prerequisite for the development of income generating activities, but not enough to reduce poverty in rural areas. This reduction through effective access to electricity must be done through improving the educational level and direction of it to technical secondary education.
