United Nations Development Programme Country: Botswana PROJECT DOCUMENT1 Project Title: Promoting production and utilisation of biogas from agro‐waste in South‐Eastern Botswana UNDAF Outcomes: UNDAF Outcome 4 on Environment and Climate: By 2016 the rural poor, especially women, are deriving greater benefits from the environment and natural ecosystems. UNDP Strategic Plan Environment and Sustainable Development Primary Outcome: Growth and development are inclusive and sustainable, incorporating productive capacities that create employment and livelihoods for the poor and excluded. Expected Country Programme Outcome(s): Improved National capacity and community participation (especially women and youth) in the management of water resources including trans‐boundary management, sanitation and hygiene. Expected CPAP Output(s): Strengthened capacity for management of water resources, pollution and sanitation for increased awareness. Executing Entity: Ministry of Environment, Wildlife and Tourism (MEWT) Implementing Partner: Botswana Institute for Technology, Research and Innovation (BITRI) Brief Description: The Botswana National Development Plan 2010‐2016 accords priority to transforming agro‐waste into biogas. This GEF‐financed, UNDP‐implemented project will assist the Government of Botswana in meeting this priority through three project components: (i) institutional strengthening and capacity development; (ii) the facilitation and establishment of biogas plants; and (iii) the setting‐up of utilisation and knowledge platforms. The outcomes of the project will include the implementation of effective waste‐management policies and guidelines with operational regulations; capacity to design and develop biogas projects in South‐Eastern Botswana; the first best‐practice public‐private partnership established; reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (direct and indirect) of 1.65 million tCO2e; and increased incomes through the use of small‐scale biogas and bio‐fertilizer, especially for women. 1 For UNDP‐supported, GEF‐funded projects as this includes GEF‐specific requirements UNDP Environmental Finance Services Page 1
