Generating opportunities: case studies on energy and women

UNDP. April 2001.

This book of case studies was prepared as part of a UNDP project, "Energy and Women: generating opportunities for development", which was initiated in February 1999 with support from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency and the UNDP Sustainable Energy Global Programme. The publication looks at critical policy and programme design options to improve women's access to modern energy services based on the lessons learned in the eight case studies presented.

Sugar-cane resources for sustainable development: a case study in Luena, Zambia

By Deborah W. Cornland, Francis X. Johnson, Francis Yamba, E.N. Chidumayo, Maria M. Morales, Oscar Kalumiana and S.B. Mtonga-Chidumayo. ISBN: 91 88714713.

This study assesses the role of sugar cane as a renewable resource to support sustainable development in the Luena region of northern Zambia. In addition to sugar, the production of ethanol from sugar cane and the options for bagasse cogeneration were explored through detailed analysis of a range of production scenarios and technical configurations. The market analysis addresses product strategies for sugar, ethanol and surplus electricity, as well as flexible combinations of all three products.
