- Wood energy is a cross cutting issue and therefore it is a problem of many departments but at the same time not of all departments.
- In developing countries context, wood energy is considered to be a rural and dirty fuel. This negative perception attached with wood energy makes it unpopular among donors and results in low funding for wood energy projects
-
and there is no prooper guidance on how to progress with this topic
- While promoting wood energy, there is a fear that it could interfere withe the food energy securtiy
