Abstract: The Africa Biogas Partnership Programme (ABPP) supports biogas and biodigester market development in five countries in Africa. Phase 1 (2009-2013) supported the set-up of technical and institutional capacities for the promotion of biogas and the development of biodigester markets. ABPP-2 (2014-2019) focused on ?market-oriented? development.The relevance of biodigesters for smallholders in rural areas in Africa is high. Biodigesters contribute to the intensification of farm production, access to fertilizers and energy, savings on fuel and fuelwood, and the reduction of indoor air pollution. They strengthen the resilience and the prospects of households. Yet, access to biodigesters is severely limited by its costs and the household?s socio-economic position.
