| dc.description | Finding ways to effectively monitor, manage and support sustainable production and trade in wood fuel, especially charcoal, is critical for countries across much of Africa today. In Zambia, the government, with the support of the Forest and Farm Facility (FFF), is exploring ways to help recognize and organize the actors in charcoal value chains, contributing to more sustainable management and improved capture of value by producers, traders and by the government. This work supports the developmen t of Zambia’s new national charcoal regulation – in line with the Forest Act of 2015 ‐ and is providing a pilot demonstration of practical steps to improve livelihoods. The work will also help to guarantee the supply of this critical source of energy ‐ so vital for income and food security ‐ without destroying forests. | |
