  1. Bioenergy and Sustainability in Africa (COMPETE) Francesca Farioli, PhD CIRPS-SapienzaUniversityofRome

  2. Sustainability Problem Limited access to energy sources, low level of quality of life, lack of livelihood opportunities in rural areas in Africa; with negative impacts (migration, environmental degradation) Solution Option (Vision) Decentralized, community-based Biofuel Programs and Facilities that provide rural communities with energy and/or income opportunities Sustainability Science Projects Type 1 Sustainability Science Projects Type 2 Research projects that contribute to creating an Enabling Environment (Guidelines, Policies, Net-works) for biofuel facilities and programs Research projects that contribute to developing and implementing Biofuel Facilities (Biofuel Sector) Jatropha Biofuel Sector Development in Tanzania and Zambia COMPETE Project Goals, Modules, Outcomes Biofuel Project in Kabwe (Marli) Biofuel Project in Leguruki (TaTEDO) COMPETE Land-Use Mapping

  3. Sustainabilityproblem Lack of livelihood opportunities Lack of quality of life Rural-urban migration Environment degradation Emissions Eradicating poverty is the greatest global challenge facing the world today

  4. Farmers Public ACTIONS Agricultural practices Heating, electricity, cooking with nonrenewable energy Traditional use of biomass Illegal lumbering Migration TECHNOLOGIES Diesel/Kerosenelamps Traditional stove Diesel generator Agricultural tools Sustainability challenges/ Adverse Effects Lack of livelihood opportunities Lack of quality of life Rural-urban migration Environment degradation Emissions

  5. (Perceived) BENEFITS Profits (Pesticides, gasoline, etc.) Income, Food, Energy Companies ACTIONS Agricultural practices Heating, electricity, cooking with nonrenewable energy Traditional use of biomass Illegal lumbering Migration TECHNOLOGIES Diesel/Kerosene lamps Traditional stove Diesel generator Agricultural tools Farmers ADVERSE EFFECTS

  6. FORMAL/INFORMAL RULES Poorly designed and implemented national policies Lack of natural resource management planning (land conflict) National land tenure regime Commodity price volatility EU CAP policies WTO policies WB electrification program (’80) (Perceived) BENEFITS ACTIONS Agricultural practices Heating, electricity, cooking with nonrenewable energy Traditional use of biomass Illegal lumbering Migration TECHNOLOGIES Diesel/Kerosene lamps Traditional stove Diesel generator Agricultural tools ADVERSE EFFECTS

FORMAL/INFORMAL RULES National energy policies National agricultural policies National land tenure regime Commodity price volatility EU CAP policies WTO policies WB electrification program (’80) (Perceived) BENEFITS Income, Food, Energy Profits (Pesticides, gasoline, etc.) State Actors- Aid Ag Public Farmers Companies Companies Farmers Companies Farmers Companies Farmers Investors Politicians ACTIONS Agricultural practices Heating, electricity, cooking with nonrenewable energy Traditional use of biomass Illegal lumbering Migration TECHNOLOGIES Diesel/Kerosene lamps Traditional stove Diesel generator Agricultural tools NEEDS/WANTS/HABITS Energy and food security Access to credit & markets Training & equipment Safety perception Compliance with norms Confidence in traditions ADVERSE EFFECTS Lack of livelihood opportunities Lack of quality of life Depopulation Environment degradation Emissions RESOURCES Low income Lack of knowledge Lack of natural resources Social capital Technical & financial assistance

  9. FORMAL/INFORMAL RULES National energy policies National agricultural policies National land tenure regime Commodity price volatility EU CAP policies WTO policies WB electrification program (’80) • Opportunities • Improved energy security; • Reduce oil dependency • Reduce Household pollution • - Provide a new source of agricultural income and rural development; • - Internal market development; • - Vulnerability to price volatility reduced; • - Reduced GHG emissions.

RESOURCES Low income Lack of knowledge Resources endowments Social capital Technical & financial assistance
