Abstract: This brief is intended for stakeholders involved, directly or indirectly, in the production and use of firewood at household, industrial and institutional levels. In addition to providing some background information, this brief identifies critical knowledge gaps in firewood access and use and proposes a multi-sectoral integrated approach to ensure sustainability in the sector. This approach recognizes the role played by each stakeholder in the entire firewood chain. Of particular importance is the role the county governments can play in initiating the adoption of this approach.
