1. Energy and Environment Room for Cooperation SEGUNDA REUNION DE REFLEXION SOBRE LA COOPERACION ARGENTINA HAITÍ Buenos Aires, Julio de 2008

2. HUMAN DEVELOPMENT APPROACH Human Development is a goal and a process of enlarging people´s capabilities, freedoms and choices to: ► Lead long and healthy lives ► Be knowledgeable ► Have a decent standard of living ► Enjoy political and civil freedoms to participate in community life with dignity and self respect

3. HD APPROACH FEATURES ► Efficiency- best use of resources ► Equity- fair share of costs/ benefits ► Excluded- women, differently-abled ► Empowerment- participation, helping people help themselves ► Ecological, social, political sustainability ► Evolving and multi- disciplinary

4. Factors affecting Human Sustainable Development

5. Challenges ► Energy supply at the household level ► Deforestation control and afforestation ► Micro- basin management and soil erosion control ► Risk and disaster prevention & recovery ► Recovery of food production systems

6. Cooperation pathways Argentina Agro forestry Models toward forest recovery in small farms production systems. Haiti Agro forestry models towards environmental recovery, energy and food production.

7. Intervention Proposal Energy shortage 1. Short term energy supply Argentine supply of sustainable charcoal from small rural producers. 2. Medium and Long Term energy supply. Haitian production of sustainable charcoal from social afforestation programs.

8. Intervention Proposal Environmental Degradation Land management at the micro- basin level Double purpose afforestation: energy and soil cons.

9. Intervention Proposal Environmental Degradation Land management at the micro- basin level Terracing for productive purposes

11. Agro forestry Management

12. HAITI. Charcoal project Energy demand features (5 years model) ► Wood and charcoal provide 70 % of household and industrial energy requirements ► Optimal personnel consumption of about 0,6 kg/person/day ► Local wood availability period: 5 years ► Total demand: 1.250 kg/person

13. ARGENTINA. Charcoal project Energy supply features (5 years model) ► Biomass production: 49 tn wood/hectare ► Charcoal production efficiency: 10 tn/hectare ► Potential supply: 8 people/hectare ► Module population : 40.000 people ► Total module area: 5.000 hectares ► Ecosystem potential: 2.400.000 hectares

14. Next steps ► Location (environmental conditions in Haiti) ► Organizational arrangements (Arg-Haiti) ► Financial support for charcoal (production, transport and distribution) ► Financial support for forestation ► Medium term (new energy sources)
