Overview of NDBMP Programme name National Domestic Biogas and

Manure Programme

Programme duration 2006– December 2012

Working area All over Bangladesh where domestic biogas plant is feasible

Construction target 37269 domestic size biogas plants

Implementing partners Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL)

together with its Partner Organisations selected from private companies and local NGOs.

Donor support DGIS (through SNV) and KfW

Technical support SNV Netherlands Development Organisation

Specific Objectives of NDBMP

To increase the number of quality biogas plants by 37,269 in the period 2006 up to 2012,

To stimulate internalization of all benefits of the biogas plants including utilization of bio-slurry,

To ensure the continued operation of all biogas plants constructed under the program,

To attract and strengthen organizations for sustainable development of the biogas sector

Partner Organization (PO)

Lending and Construction Partner Organization (LCPO)- is responsible for constructing the plant and

providing Loan and subsidy to households, through grants and refinancing (80% of Loan reimbursed by IDCOL not exceeding 190 Euro)

- Plants are constructed mainly on credit basis i.e. house will avail loan facilities from LCPO.

- LCPO will not only entitle to receive Technical fee (Max. Tk. 5000) and Maintenance fee ( Tk. 700) but also collect installment with interest from household.

Strengths of NDBMP High potentiality for biogas

(availability of cattle/poultry birds, suitable weather, Easy availability of construction materials and human resources)

High demand of (organic) bio-slurry as fertilizer and fish feed

Lot of experiences on biogas in local level

Strong networks at local levels through Partner Organisations
