Workshop

WWF is organizing a national workshop to initiate dialogue among interested parties on developing National Guidelines on Biofuel investments in Tanzania. The workshop is planned at Oasis Hotel, Morogoro from 9th to 11th June 2008. This initiative comes as stakeholders recognize that Tanzania has approved a number of biofuel development projects and that globally there are divided ideas on issues related to biofuels investments.

The course, including the 2 days field visits, is being offered for free by the University of Applied Sciences of Western Switzerland (UASWS) and the Swiss Development Cooperation. Ms. Andrea Finger Stich from the University of Applied Sciences of Western Switzerland (UASWS) and Mr Fred Nelson from the Tanzania Natural Resource Forum (TNRF) are faciltiating the course. The IUCN CEESP is associated with the course through its Group on Governance, Equity and Rights (TGER).
