Abstract
The programme was intended to equip the women of Ndirande Township with the ability to produce,use and market biomass briquettes. The project engaged a wide selection of individuals and community development institutions in providing technical assistance for biomass briquette production activities. Learning from a prior UNDP-funded biomass briquette project, this programme emphasised the participation of women in project and equipment design, and in the development of a comprehensive marketing plan.
