Abstract: The research was conducted in the community of Maneah in Coyah, located in Guinea. Maneah is an urban area characterized by a diverse population and a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial activities. As a case study site for analyzing factors influencing urban households’ transition from fuelwood to renewable cooking energy sources, Maneah presents a unique context for understanding the challenges and opportunities in adopting sustainable cooking practices. Through observation, most households rely completely on traditional cooking energy sources(fuelwood and charcoal). Therefore, Maneah is selected for its relevance as a representative community facing energy transition issues and the higher dependence of most households on traditional cooking energy sources. It is located in a region where fuelwood is commonly used for cooking, highlighting the need to explore factors hindering the transition toward renewable energy sources despite being an urban and industrial zone. The community’s proximity to the capital city, Conakry and its accessibility makes it suitable for conducting research and engaging with various stakeholders.
