Author(s) Drigo, R. & Nzabanita, V.
Year of publication 2011
The present report describes and documents the main product of the first two Components of the Project: WISDOM Rwanda, the first geo-referenced database on the demand for fuelwood and charcoal in the various sectors and on the sustainable supply potential of the Country, which was developed implementing the Woodfuel Integrated Supply/Demand Overview Mapping (WISDOM) methodology. The combination of these layers allowed the creation of detailed maps on supply/demand balance conditions, and the identification of priority areas of interventions. Most important, WISDOM Rwanda is an analytical tool that will support future planning and policy formulation.
