    Woodfuel Flow Study of Phnom Penh, Cambodia 1998

    This report presents the results of a six-month inter-ministerial study of woodfuel flows into Phnom Penh. The study highlights the importance of wood energy in government policy formulation and provides an overview of the urban market structure and the main supply areas. Woodfuels are the most commonly used energy sources for the majority of the population in Cambodia. In Phnom Penh, the country's economic centre, 84% of households rely on firewood and charcoal as their main energy sources for cooking. The woodfuel flow system is unregulated, informal and complex, and the urban traders provide an important link between suppliers and consumers, both within Phnom Penh and in the surrounding forest-poor provinces.

    The rapid growth of African cities is increasing food insecurity for urban households, especially for the poor ones. The challenge confronting cities consists in ensuring an adequate supply of food to satisfy their nutritional needs in terms of quantity, variety and taste, at accessible/affordable prices. Food supply and distribution systems (FSDs), whether formal or informal, are a key element in this challenge. They are a link between the production areas (mostly rural and peri-urban) and the consumption areas (urban). An FSD can, in effect, increase the availability of food to the urban consumer, and at the same time increase the revenues of both traders and producers. However, a number of different constraints impede the necessary efficiency and dynamism of FSDs to ensure the food security of urban households. These constraints affect both the urban and non-urban areas and are discussed in the various papers in this Bulletin. The papers are a selection of those originally published in the French version of AGS Bulletins 132-133 Aliments dans les villes and cover the major issues affecting urban food supply and distribution systems and their role in increasing urban food security. They are addressed towards urban managers and planners together with professionals and researchers concerned with urban food security.
