Workshop outputs - Cogeneration and Bio-ethanol for Southern Africa


The Partners for Africa Co-generation and bio-ethanol policy dialogue workshop, organised by Illovo Sugar Ltd. and WIP-Munich, was held in South Africa from 21-22 June 2004. Initial workshop documentation is available online here.

The project PARTNERS FOR AFRICA (www.partners4africa.org) is implemented in close co-operation with the European Energy Initiative for Poverty Eradication and Sustainable Development, which was launched at the Johannesburg World Summit for Sustainable Development to help achieve the Millennium Development Goals. It provides support through the mobilisation of international and local partnerships for the development of new programmes, project platforms and policy initiatives.
