Democratic Republic of Congo: Forestry
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what steps his Department is taking to reduce the problem of deforestation related to production of charcoal in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo region.
- Answer
-
The Department for international Development (DFID) funded an appraisal of options for rural energy use in the Congo Basin in 2009. This included an assessment of the production of charcoal and improved conversion technologies that may reduce the impact on deforestation. The review provided options for addressing deforestation related to charcoal production that could be developed and potentially funded through the African Development Bank (AfDB) administered Congo Basin Forest Fund.
