The project, implemented by the Department and the Netherlands Development Organization, has facilitated the construction of 130,000 biogas works, creating jobs for over 5,700 bricklayers and improving life of more than 650,000 people via provision of clean and cheap energy sources.

The project has helped many animal breeding facilities on both household and industrial scales to handle animals’ droppings and create biogas sources used as fuel in many works.
