The socio-cultural constrictions could be overcome through intensive education campaigns to raise awareness of the benefits of this technology. These could include publication and distribu- tion of simple and well-illustrated manuals, various propaganda mechanisms, especially to rural areas through the mass media, organisation of training courses and seminars (Akinbami et al., 2001). There is need to highlight biogas success stories in Uganda and encourage dissemination of information through exchange visits and personal testimonies. The most important element of this promotion strategy would be to have a satisfied customer telling friends, visitors, relatives and neighbours about the benefits of a biogas digester. However, it is important to accurately inform potential customers of the specific requirements of a digester without exaggerating its benefits.
