The national training course on "Integration of Woodfuel Production and Marketing in Forest, Agriculture and Tree Production Systems in Bangladesh" was organized by the Forest Department of Bangladesh with assistance of RWEDP in Bogra, in December 1996. This training course was a follow-up of the sub-regional workshop on Integrating woodfuel production in the implementation of agriculture, forestry and rural extension programs in South Asia held in Dhaka in 1995.

Twenty five participants, mostly mid level resource managers from different government and non government organizations, educational institutes and training academies, participated in the training course.
