Abstract:
This country report on Rwanda presents the manner in which financial aspects to help farmers get access to biogas technology were taken in consideration by developing a microfinance loan product. The study describes an investment subsidy, a carbon rebate, and a bank loan as the main mechanisms used to finance the biogas plants, where Banque Populaire du Rwanda was the main financial institution. A comprehensive Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis of the current financial instruments is presented in this study. Based on this analysis, thorough recommendations as to the next step in the biogas programme in Rwanda are presented.
