Stakeholder’s Meeting for Biofuel Policy Recommendations at New Palm Tree Village, Bagamoyo, Tanzania.
J.Shuma, TaTEDO
Tanzania is in the process of formulating a sound policy and legal mechanisms to foster investments in biofuels. This has been attributed to different firms which have shown interest in biofuel investments and local need of reducing fuel imports. In different areas where such investments have taken place, the people have already started experiencing environmental, economic and social effects due to inappropriate coordination of biofuels activities between responsible government departments, the investing firms and the absence of a policy to govern biofuel activities.
