Project Characteristics and Results
Project sustainability
The project seeks to empower rural communities in communal areas to convert animal waste to energy. Omaheke is livestock country, and using local animal waste would improve local deforestation. Diversifying the use of local resources would also improve economic activities related to non-timber products and raise awareness of local environmental issues.
Future endeavors include meetings with community to increase awareness and select one pilot household per village. In addition, task group will network with different stakeholders in the Omaheke region. Lastly, the task group will visit various existing bio-gas digesters in other constituencies.
