The project was funded by the Embassy of Luxembourg with EURs 12.000 and has been performed by the Microfinance and Community Development Institute in collaboration with Zebunet. The overall objective of the project is “To build sustainable livelihoods and improve the quality of living for ethnic minorities in two communes (Cu Yen and Tan Lap, both belonging to HoaBinh province) through the exploitation of economic, social and environmental benefits from the biogas project with animal waste from households and through the development of a market-oriented sustainable biogas sector.”
