Despite widespread use in various developed and dev eloping nations\, the utilization of biogas remains limited in Zambia. Sma ll-scale biogas presents a promising avenue for the country to align with its development targets while steering towards sustainability.\n\nIn Decem ber 2023\, the Department of Technology and Science of the Ministry of Tec hnology and Science\, in collaboration with UNCTAD\, organised a key stake holder workshop. This collaborative effort aimed to foster a participatory and inclusive approach of the TA\, gathering valuable perspectives from v arious stakeholders such as government representatives\, regulatory bodies \, academia\, the private sector\, and civil society.\n\nFollowing the wor kshop\, the collected data underwent thorough analysis. The insights deriv ed from this analysis and the resulting policy recommendations have been i ncorporated into a comprehensive TA report\, which also outlines the resea rch carried out in the previous months. Additionally\, a draft action plan is currently being formulated to delineate the measures and activities th at stakeholders are expected to undertake over different time periods.\n\n A crucial step in finalising this endeavour is to validate the findings an d recommendations of the TA report and proposed action plan. Recognising t he significance of stakeholder input in this validation process\, the Mini stry of Technology and Science\, in collaboration with UNCTAD\, is organiz ing a joint national validation workshop.\n\nThis workshop is designed to provide stakeholders with a platform to offer feedback on the TA report an d action plan before they undergo final validation by the TA steering comm ittee.\n<\;p>\;The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has a project promoting technology assessment (TA) in the energy and agricultural sectors in Africa.<\;/p>\;\n\n<\;p>\;In Zambia\, following a comprehensive review of national development plans\, goals\, a nd the technological landscape\, it has been decided that the focus of the TA project assessment will be on small-scale biogas.
