Second Regional Advisory Committee Meeting

RWEDP Report No.39, 1998

Table of Contents

The second Regional Advisory Committee Meeting was held in September 1997. All 16 member countries were represented, with delegates from both the forestry and the energy sector. Together with experts from FAO and other specialised organisations the delegates reviewed RWEDP's achievements so far and discussed strategies for further wood energy development.

The committee unanimously took the view that problems of wood energy development still persist, notwithstanding the ongoing national and international initiatives for improvement of production and utilisation systems. The committee provided specific advice to RWEDP for the development of policies and institutions, human resources, a comprehansive database, and networking.
