The institutional framework for the popularisation and coordi- nation of biogas technology in Uganda is weak. At grassroots level, there is need to go beyond simply looking at the socio-economic and demographic attributes of individual households and support the adopters of biogas through improved infrastructure including support services, financial incentives, technical information and research and development in the sector. After installation of biogas systems, government and donors are rarely available to provide the technical support required in maintaining these systems (Karekezi and Kithyoma, 2002). This creates an ownership gap for the installed systems, since households only pay a minimal installation fee and view the biogas systems as externally owned, requiring continuous support to maintain them. Consequently, the systems break down completely or are abandoned altogether. An umbrella body, for instance the National Integrated Biogas Development Programme, could be set up with the main task of coordinating and stimulating interaction between farmers, researchers, biogas com- panies (suppliers), biogas plant operators and the public through a bottom-up approach. This would create a broad social network for the stakeholders and stimulate the exchange of experiences between biogas users and other social groups.
