Biomass energy sector planning guide

Year of publication 2014
This Guide describes a methodology consisting of a preparation stage and six subsequent stages for restructuring biomass governance, each stage, consisting of several steps and having its own objectives and output. The methodology works towards the formulation of a biomass energy strategy. It should however be noted that a strategy is not necessarily the desired outcome for every country. The process can be concluded at the end of each stage, with useful outcomes. The desired outcome should be formulated based on a needs analysis at the start of the intervention (Steps 2 and 6).
