This study provides an overview of the commercial woodfuels sector in Myanmar for policymakers and stakeholders to address these issues. It consists of three parts: (a) an assessment of woodfuel demand in Myanmar, estimating consumption by households, commercial catering, and industries. This was based on primary data collected through field visits and phone survey, as well as compilation and re-analysis of previous work; (b) in-depth investigation of selected woodfuel value chains representing the diversity of the sector, to assess supply-demand dynamics and identify hotspots of pressure on forest resources. This was based on field assessment of prominent value chains and computer modeling of supply and demand; and (c) drawing on these analyses, the study offers strategies and policy options to support the development of a sustainable woodfuels sector in Myanmar. 2020-07-14T16:22:59Z 2020-07-14T16:22:59Z 2020-06 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/265921593413178271/Myanmar-Country-Forest-Note-Myanmar-Woodfuels-Sector-Assessment http://hdl.handle.net/10986/34096 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Other Environmental Study East Asia and Pacific Myanmar
