AARINENA Starts conducting SAG initiative on Regional Evidence
Generation and Policy and InstitutionalMapping on Food and Bio-fuel
Study
AARINENA assigned two consultants to conduct the Regional Evidence
Generation Policy, and Institutional Mapping on Food and Bio-energy
study for its five sub-regions. The research will investigate the evidence on
food and bio-energy generation and conversion as well as policy and
institutional mapping. The major objectives of this research are: a)To
assess the status of liquid bio-fuel production and processing in
AARINENA Region Countries b) To identify multiple effects of bio-fuel
production c) To identify the opportunities and challenges stemming from
emerging bio-fuel industry for smallholder producers in ARRINENA
Region Countries. All of these will lead to information policy formulation
and an enabled policy environment in respective regions. This will cushion
the impact of, or tap opportunities for, smallholder farmers in case of
adverse or favorable effects, respectively
