Appendix 1
E.G. 2 000 000 people x 31%
= 6200 000 people using fuel –wood
Of these 6200 000 15% has migrated to the cities where other forms of energy are used Bureau of Statistics (1996).
Therefore 6200 000 x .15 = 93 000
6200 000 – 93 000 = 527 000
527 000 x 1.6m3/household (since there is no latest study the assumption is that this has probably increased by 0.1%.
Total annual fuel wood consumption = 843200m3
