Democratic Republic of Congo: Forestry

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what assessment his Department has made of the merits of providing support to energy-saving stove projects in Democratic Republic of Congo.
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 reducing wood-fuel consumption by introducing improved stoves. The review provided options for addressing the fuel wood issue that could be developed and potentially funded through the African Development Bank (AfDB) administered Congo Basin Forest Fund.
