Woodfuel in Rwanda impact on energy, poverty and the environment

This thesis investigates how the current woodfuel industry impacts on energy, poverty and forests. From a desk research on secondary data, woodfuel production, demand, supply and use were documented and their legal and regulatory framework were analysed. Policy instruments were examined to assess their conformity to sustainable management i.e whether they increase, or help to alleviate the pressure on woodfuel resources.
