Proceedings: Policy Dialogue on Biofuels, Renewable Energy for Health & Enterprise
Proceedings from the Partners for Africa Policy Dialogue on Biofuels, Renewable Energy for Public Health, and Enterprise Development, organised by CEEEZ, Zambia and SEI, Sweden in Lusaka, Zambia from 14-15 December 2004 are now available online here. This workshop took place in the framework of the PARTNERS FOR AFRICA PROJECT. PARTNERS FOR AFRICA is co-funded by the European Commission in the 6th Framework Programme - Specific Measures in Support of International Cooperation (INCO). (Contract FP6-INCO-DEV-502257)
PARTNERS FOR AFRICA aims to demonstrate the role of renewable energy in poverty eradication and support to policy-making activities in the following areas: - Sustainable resource management
- Health and public health
- Enterprise development
The first workshop held in Zambia took place at Fringilla Guest House, 50km North of the capital city, Lusaka, from 10th - 11th May 2004. The workshop dubbed 'Recommendation of the Policy Framework for the Introduction of Ethanol-Petrol Blending and Biodiesel on the Zambian Market' attracted participants from Government Organs (ministries, departments, and agencies), Non-governmental Organizations, Academic and Research Institutions, Companies (Public and Private) and the media.
As a follow up, a second workshop was held in Lusaka at Mulungushi International Conference Centre from 14 - 15th December 2004. The participants were drawn from the same sectors as the first workshop, the main difference being that the workshop addressed many more issues. The workshop entitled 'Policy Dialogue on Biofuels, Renewable Energy for Public Health, and Enterprise Development' was focussed on biofuels for both the transport sector and electricity generation, public health related to renewable energy and application of PV and wind energy for productive use.
