The widespread adoption of biogas technology in Nepal is due to its modular and easy to construct design, its proven reliability, the immediate noticeable benefits and the long term financial incentives provided by the government and international donors. The early involvement and active entrepreneurship of the private sector has been crucial to the success. Despite the economic, technical and social barriers discussed, the success of biogas support programme (BSP) evolves around institutional sustainability, technical sustainability and financial sustainability. And by introducing a strong quality management component to the programme, it helps to ensure that supply-side actors remain fully accountable to their customers.
