� Swaziland
- In South Africa, ProBEC
cooperates with BECCAP, a
BMU funded programme with
similar objectives.
- In Zimbabwe, operations were
suspended but may be re-activated quickly
- There are some activities being implemented in DRC

Biofuels
* Support social and environmentally sustainable production of biofuel in SADC region.
* Focused pilot projects
* Example in Cabo Delgado,Mozambique:

* Example in Cabo Delgado,Mozambique:• AMES-M, ESV BioAfrica
• Isolated community lack regular supply of fossil fuels
• Jatropha grown as hedges, oil used directly in a modified
generator

Lessons learned and some recommendations
� Lessons learned:
� Focus on systemic changes in the market for improved appliances – M4P approach
� Interventions require time – no quick fixes
� Integrated approach – do not focus on bio-energy but rather support with general agricultural production, cash crop development and include a component on bio-energy
09.03.2011 Seite 11
development and include a component on bio-energy
� Strategic partnerships are important – Gorogonsa National Park
� Simple recommendations
� Emphasise the inclusion of biomass as bio-energy
� Look at value-add along the biomass supply chain
� Maximise opportunities afforded by external opportunities
