The second Bioenergy Week was hosted by the Government of Mozambique and organized by the GBEP Secretariat with the support of the Governments of Brazil and Italy, as well as of APLA Brazil and Vale S.A.

The event gathered around 120 participants from the Americas, Africa, Southeast Asia and Europe among scientists and government officials, including also representatives of the private sector, in particular from Africa, to discuss on specific sustainability themes that are of key interest for Africa like regulatory and policy frameworks for bioenergy, food security and bioenergy, family farmers integration in the bioenergy value chain, and sustainable modern biomass energy development.
