Households have become one of the most crucial factors shaping the management of developments towards sustainability. However, for some nations, addressing such challenges appears to be too difficult. A lack of awareness and strong policies has led to the misuse of energy resources in Guinea. This provides us with grounds to assess the discourses on which the notion of efficiency is based on according to various actors who are attempting to affect household energy behaviour around the world. This study first attempts to improve household energy behaviour in Guinea-Conakry based on feedback from interest groups, authorities and energy companies. Our research is based on the results of a recently concluded pilot study conducted in Sweden. The outcomes of this pilot study will have some important implications in terms of enhancing household energy behaviours in Guinea-Conakry.
