The development objective of the Second Phase of the Sustainable and Participatory Energy Management Project for Senegal is to contribute to increase the availability of diversified household fuels in a sustainable and gender equitable way, and to contribute to increase the income of participating communities while preserving the forest ecosystems. There are four components to the project: i) the institutional reforms of the charcoal value chain will address the political economy and equity issues (income and decision making) particularly in the (supplying) regions, and in the country as a whole. It will support central and decentralized government, local government, as well as communities for a full implementation of the reform; ii) the sustainable wood fuels supply management will finance technical assistance, logistical support and equipment to central and decentralized forestry services, local collectivities, including Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) and Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) involved in forest/natural resource management/biodiversity and environmental-social protection activities; and communities to carry out; iii) the promotion and diversification of modern household energy will finance technical assistance, logistical means and equipment for the Directorate of Petroleum Products and Household Energy (DPHE) and private entrepreneurs to support massive production and dissemination of improved stoves and alternative wood fuel; and iv) the institutional arrangements for project implementation will support government institutions and community organizations to play their rightful role in scaling up the program; hence the consultants will play a more catalytic, supportive, and advisory role.
