Forestry remains the main source of energy. Biomass satisfies about 83.4% of household energy demand with electricity providing the remaining 16.6%. This, therefore, leaves the country reliant on wood fuels. Thus, there is need to diversify sources of energy so as to reduce pressure on the need for firewood in future.

The country, however, continues to suffer from forest degradation largely because of poverty, population growth, agricultural expansion, infrastructure development and overdependence on wood fuel for energy. Over 93% of the population depends on biomass energy for heating and lighting. It is estimated that forest resources are declining at a very alarming rate of 2.6% per annum mainly due to deforestation.
