Wood Energy Development: Planning, Policies and Strategies

Field Document No. 37, May 1993

Volume I - Volume II - Volume III

The end of the second phase of RWEDP was considered to be an opportune time to reflect on the progress made in our understanding of wood energy issues in RWEDP's member countries and on possible issues to be addressed in a follow-up project.

Thus, from 22 February to 3 March 1993, two consecutive regional meetings were conducted in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The first one, aimed at planners from RWEDP member countries, was an "Expert Consultation on Data Analysis and Assessment for Wood Energy Planning" while the second one, aimed at policy makers, was a "Seminar on Policy Instruments for the Implementation of Wood Energy Development Programmes". 36 participants came from the member countries to the two meetings, and a total of 29 papers by 23 resource persons were presented.

The results of these meetings are presented in a set of three documents:

Vol.IReport on the RWEDP Regional Meetings on Wood Energy Planning and Policies
Vol.IIPapers Presented at the "Expert Consultation on Data Analysis and Assessment for Wood Energy Planning"
Vol.IIIPapers Presented at the "Seminar on Policy Instruments for the Implementation of Wood Energy Development Programmes"

Volume II is available as a single, complete file in Adobe Acrobat PDF format suitable for downloading, printing, duplication and distribution. (To download the free Acrobat Reader and find out how to use PDF files click here.)
