Through BioGas Technology Towards Higher Resilience of the Communities in Western Province of Zambia’

The “Biogas Technology” project, implemented by a consortium including People in Need (PIN), Keepers Zambia Foundation (KZF), and the Czech University of Life Sciences (CZU). Project aim is to enhance climate resilience and improve food and nutrition security for 130 smallholder farmers and three institutions in Western Province, Zambia. By leveraging biogas technology, the project addresses the pressing challenges of climate change while also providing a sustainable solution for energy and waste management. Through this initiative, participants are expected to gain access to renewable energy, thereby reducing their reliance on traditional biomass fuels and improving their overall quality of life.

To achieve its goals, the project focuses on several key strategies. Firstly, it develops a local market for biogas technology by increasing demand and raising awareness of its socio-economic benefits among communities. Secondly, it strengthens the capacity of various market actors to ensure effective implementation and support for biogas solutions. Lastly, the project enhances access to finance and improves knowledge on how to utilize the outputs of biogas technology for agricultural and aquaculture production. Together, these efforts contribute to building resilience against climate change, fostering sustainable livelihoods, and promoting food security in the region.
