The mini proposals for national level follow-up under RWEDP´s assistance which were prepared by the participants for their respective countries are provided in the report, in addition to the findings of the evaluation of the training by th e participants. Part II of the report presents the general wood energy situation in South Asia, together with some country specific presentations: two from Bangladesh, one on the policy and strategy in support of non-forest area woodfuel production, and the second on the role of non-forest land in woodfuel production; one from India, to highlight the woodfuels under community forestry protection in Orissa State; two from Pakistan, one dealing with integration of woodfuel production, flow a nd utilization in the training curricula of the PFI, and the second on production of woodfuel in non-forest lands and its flow to users; and one from Sri Lanka, also on the role of non-forest land on woodfuel production. Part II also includes the framework which explains the factors that affect farm household-level decisions regarding agroforestry. Annexures in the report encompass the details of inaugural and closing sessions, workshop program, list of participants, etc..

    The national training course on "Woodfuel Production and Marketing in Forest, Agriculture and Tree Production Systems" was organised by the Forest Science Institute of Vietnam (FSIV) in collaboration with RWEDP in April 1996 in Hanoi. The course was a follow-up of the sub-regional training course on woodfuel production held in Indonesia in 1995. The course brought together representatives of energy and forestry agencies to review problems related to the production, marketing and use of biom ass energy in Vietnam. The participants also received guidelines for formulating and implementing wood energy programmes, not only in the energy and forestry sectors, but also in sectors concerned with agriculture and rural development. The report contains English summaries of the papers orginally presented in Vietnamese. They discuss the assessment of wood energy supply and marketing in Vietnam, the use of biomass energy for residential and industrial purposes, and economic aspects.

    South American leaf blight (SALB) is a devastating disease of rubber which currently found in the American Tropic with Mexico in the North and Brazil in the South. The disease has a high potential to establish in the Asia Pacific rubber growing countries due to the similar climate, increased in agricultural trade and advancement in intercontinental air transport. This workshop was held pursuance to the agreement in the 29th Session of the APPPC meeting in Bali, Indonesia to update the progress on the prevention of SALB incursion and discussed on the future action plan to strengthen the capacity building especially in mitigating SALB pathways of non-rubber rubber agricultural products by utilizing international standard on pest free area of production.
