Mama Nyoro, a dedicated farmer from Kiambu County, has transformed her household through the adoption of bio-digester technology. She now enjoys reliable, clean cooking energy while significantly reducing organic waste. Her journey is a shining example of how sustainable innovation can empower families and create healthier, greener communities.

Bio-slurry from biodigesters improves soil fertility, increases food production, and strengthens household nutrition—delivering better waste management, healthier meals, and more resilient families. ABPL supports this impact by providing communities with biodigester solutions, training, and ongoing technical support to ensure sustainable results.

The African Biodigester Component (ABC), implemented by GIZ Kenya in partnership with ABPL, has launched a nationwide training programme aimed at strengthening Kenya’s clean energy workforce and promoting productive use of biogas technologies.

The programme is training 50 technicians across various counties in Kenya with hands-on skills to install and retrofit biogas-powered equipment such as generators, chaff cutters, millers, incubators, brooders, and milk pasteurisers.

It supports the scale-up of over 20,000 small and 250 medium biodigesters by enhancing technical capacity, strengthening after-sales services, and promoting green enterprise development to improve rural livelihoods.

Currently, a 3-day training in Karatina, Nyeri County, is building local expertise in the productive use of biogas by bringing together 16 technicians from Nakuru, Nyandarua, Nyeri, Nanyuki, Laikipia, Kiambu, Kitui, Nairobi, Meru, Kirinyaga, and Murang’a.

Through hands-on training as biodigester technicians, young people gain practical, job-ready skills while actively supporting local clean energy projects—thanks to ABPL’s commitment to empowering youth and advancing sustainable energy solutions in communities.

ABPL promotes climate-smart farming by integrating bioslurry into agricultural systems that enhance soil carbon, improve resilience, and support climate adaptation.

Tymax and Tanager partnered with ABPL to train on nutrition-sensitive agriculture, establishing a foundation for an impactful nutrition strategy. This training uncovered essential opportunities to integrate nutrition into ABPL’s value chains. We identified targeted nutrition priorities that align with smallholder farmers' needs, culminating in a shared vision for change and clear pathways for measurable improvements.

The African Biodigester Component (ABC), implemented in Kenya by GIZ and SNV in partnership with Africa Bioenergy Programmes Ltd. (ABPL), has launched a nationwide Productive Use of Biogas (PUB) training program aimed at strengthening the country’s clean energy workforce. Through this initiative, 50 biodigester technicians across five counties will be equipped with hands-on skills to retrofit gasoline engines and install productive-use appliances that run on biogas—including chaff cutters, generators, millers, incubators, brooders, and milk pasteurizers. Currently we have trained 26 trainees in Productive use from Baringo, Nyamira, Kericho, Eldoret, Kitale, Kakamega, Taita Taveta, Bomet, Kisumu, Nandi, Siaya, Vihiga and Uasin Gishu counties.

The training supports ABC’s broader goal of accelerating the adoption of over 20,000 small and 250 medium biodigesters by enhancing technical capacity, improving after‑sales service, and expanding opportunities for green enterprise development. By building local expertise in biogas technologies, the program contributes to Kenya’s clean energy transition, strengthens rural livelihoods, and promotes sustainable, affordable energy solutions for households and agricultural communities.

Women farmers benefit directly from biodigester technology—accessing organic fertilizer, increasing yields, and strengthening food security at household and community levels.
