[Stoves] Forestry and fuel

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Nolbert

Please try to emphasize that there is a lot to be learned from the Chad and
Rwanda models of charcoal production and trading, and that the illegality of
the trade makes nearly no difference at all in the volume traded, it just
places the action in the hands of crooks - many of them tied to people in
government or the regulatory process. In Haiti this is the case where
keeping the trade (for the most part, not all) illegal suits the people
involved in large scale smuggling from other islands.

Dear Crispin and Richard,

Am attending and East African meeting on Biofuels and Renewable Energy next
week and I will try to share these. Ugandans and East Africans need to start
harvesting charcoal in a sustainable manner and but also start implementing
the policies the government drafted with regard to charcoal burning.

More hope that there are potential markets outside Uganda!

Nolbert.
