This report has been prepared by the Bellerive Foundation at the request of the Energy Unit of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). It is based on the results of a collaborative UNEP/Bellerive Foundation project: Plantation and Efficient Utilisation of Fuelwood in Rural Areas of Kenya (UNEP Project No. FP/2103-83-02-2423).

Much of the discussion of the early stages of the project is based on a draft report submitted to UNEP in 1986 by Waclaw Micuta of the Bellerive Foundation. The ideas of Emil Haas and Sophie Kiarie also contributed substantially to the development of the project.

In the course of the Pre-implementation study for the Kenya Institutional Fuelwood Saving Programme, Ngure Mwaniki of Mwaniki Associates, Nairobi and W.F. Sulilatu of TNO Apeldoorn, The Netherlands, were responsible for specific project outputs, cited below in the Bibliography.

Concerning this specific publication, I would like to thank Janos Pasztor of the Energy Unit, who initiated its preparation. I received very useful suggestions and comments on the initial draft from John Christensen. UNEP/Energy Unit; Clive Costa-Correa, Third World Communications; Yehia ElMahgary. Technical Research Centre of Finland; Peter Hetz, CARE-International; Hartmut Krugmann, International Development Research Centre; Erling Nielsen, Danida; Phil O’Keefe, ETC Foundation: Anthony Ratter. ERDA Ltd.; and Niels Richter, Consultant. Steve Barnes, of Drum Publications, assisted considerably in editing and proof-reading the final text.

Thanks are also due to Enid Ngaira of UNEP/Conference Services for the final design and layout, and to Susan Matiah and Rose Magothe of the Bellerive Foundation, for typing the text. They have all been very patient.

Dorothy Migadde’s illustrations speak for themselves.

Finally, I must thank Chris Davey of the Bellerive Foundation, Nairobi: most of the ideas in what follows were worked out in the course of discussions with him.
