-Putting in place an incentive system such as a premium price for charcoal and briquettes bought by the retailers from the designated certified areas; and
-Lowering taxes/levies for the wholesalers and retailers participating in the regulated value chain.
Promotion of energy-efficient wood fuel utilization technologies
-Diagnosis of the best bet energy efficient technologies s based on the socio-economic and biophysical conditions in the selected target areas;
