The systematic review of published evidence on drivers of and barriers to transitioning populations to modern energy cooking services (MECS) was conducted under the MECS Program, a five-year initiative funded by UK Aid of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and led by Loughborough University and the World Bank's Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP). The open-access interactive systematic map of 160 studies selected from over 14,000 articles in the global databases of research can be accessed here: https://esmap.github.io/evidencemap/fuel/

This dataset includes the following supplementary documents for the final report: i) the systematic review protocol; ii) a csv file that contains publications rejected at either title and abstract or full-text screening that did not meet the review criteria, as well as others that met the criteria but could not be found.
