This review examines the impact of water-related projects on women, women’s role in managing water resources and the constraints women face in gaining access to water. It highlights the innovative activities and catalysts that have helped to address gender issues in water programmes and projects. 

The most common type of biogas system, and the most widely adopted in China and India, is a fixed dome system. Its construction requires skilled technical expertise and complex logistics, making installation expensive and time-consuming. Fixed dome systems are permanent installations, so secure land tenure is a prerequisite. These challenges make it difficult to adopt fixed dome systems in developing countries, particularly in Africa. As a result, many systems have failed and adoption rates have been low.

Another type of biogas system, manufactured in Kenya, is Flexi Biogas, a flexible above- ground system that is simpler and less costly to build and operate. This system does not require agitation and the digester is not a sealed tank but simply a 6m x 3m plastic bag made of PVC tarpaulin.

Les peuples autochtones, dont la richesse culturelle ne date
pas d’hier, considèrent que leur fonctionnement social,
économique, environnemental et spirituel forme un tout. Ils
apportent une contribution précieuse au patrimoine
mondial grâce aux savoirs traditionnels qu’ils détiennent
et à leur compréhension de la gestion des écosystèmes. Mais
les peuples autochtones sont aussi parmi les groupes de
population les plus vulnérables, les plus marginalisés et les
plus désavantagés au monde.
Nous devons faire en sorte que leur voix soit entendue,
que leurs droits soient respectés et que leurs
conditions de vie s’améliorent.
