International Cooperation

 

 

South-South Cooperation

 

The implementation of alternative energy crops and agro forestry schemes has recently gained large interest worldwide, especially in developing countries in Asia and Latin America.

 

The objective of this work package is to link the project activities in Africa with on-going successful research and demonstration efforts in the field of energy crops and agroforestry systems in Latin America and Asia. This will be achieved by exchanging information, especially learning from initiatives that are directly related to the themes under the COMPETE project. Specific objectives include:

 

    To document and exchange information on a broad range of issues covering improved agriculture and

    sustainable agro-forestry systems that have been successfully demonstrated / implemented in Asia and Latin

    America.


    To identify best practices that have the potential for application in Africa and carry out impact assessment of the

    selected schemes / approaches

 

    To prepare a draft strategy document for implementation of the best practices in Africa

 


    This work package also aims to provide effective links with Work Packages (WP) 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7.
