This survey was conducted to collect baseline data for a randomized control trial preceding the introduction of improved energy cookstoves in the Dedza District in the Central Region of Malawi.

This survey was conducted to collect endline data for a randomized control trial study. The endline survey was conducted two years after the introduction of improved energy cookstoves in the Dedza District in the Central Region of Malawi.

This survey was conducted to collect endline data for a randomized control trial, two years after the introduction of the improved cookstoves in the Angonia District of Mozambique.

For decades cheaper and easily available fossil fuels have underpinned the energy system of South Africa and inhibited the potential for achieving a sustainable low carbon economy.

"Energized: Policy innovations to power the transformation of Africa’s agriculture and food system" – new report by the Malabo Montpellier Panel highlights the promising energy-related strategies, policies and technologies emerging across Africa's

This introductory paper sets out the rationale for revisiting questions surrounding biofuel futures in Southern Africa and exploring the case for the establishment of a regional market.

Mozambique is one of the most promising African countries for producing biofuels and the national biofuel policy of 2009 identifies measures to incentivize biofuel production.

Potential biofuel demand in South Africa is estimated to increase to 1550 million litres by 2025 due to mandatory blending rates. Land and water constraints, however, limit the ability for domestic production.

Significant and mainly unpredicted advances in variable renewable energy technologies are resulting in structural shifts in energy systems globally causing an energy revolution.

The strong linkages to food security and the environment place biomass energy at the heart of sustainable development.

Biofuel production can have conflicting impacts on economic growth, food and energy security, and natural resources. Understanding these trade-offs is crucial for designing policies that are consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals.

This study summarizes the concept of the food-energy-water security nexus (FEW nexus). The aim is to create awareness about the importance of the nexus and to enable stakeholders to consider interconnections between the sectors in their work.

In southern Africa, the connections between climate and the water–energy–food nexus are strong. Physical and socioeconomic exposure to climate is high in many areas and in crucial economic sectors.
