Key Objectives
Enhancing access to renewable energy through biogas technology
Reducing reliance on firewood and charcoal
Improving food and nutrition security among smallholder farmers
Promoting sustainable waste management practices
Strengthening local capacity for biogas adoption and use
Key Activities
Biogas Technology Adoption
The project supports the installation and use of biogas systems among 130 smallholder farmers and three institutions.
These systems convert organic waste into clean energy for cooking and other household needs.
Market Development and Awareness
The project promotes the development of a local market for biogas technology by raising awareness of its socio-economic and environmental benefits.
This includes community engagement and knowledge sharing to increase demand and adoption.
Capacity Building
The project strengthens the capacity of key market actors, including technicians, service providers, and community members.
This ensures effective implementation, maintenance, and long-term sustainability of biogas systems.
Access to Finance and Knowledge
The project improves access to financing options and builds knowledge on how to utilize biogas outputs.
This includes the use of by-products such as bio-slurry to support agricultural and aquaculture production, enhancing productivity and food security.
