    This study assesses the potential and constraints faced by biofuels in Nicaragua, generating a critical base of information that facilitates and supports the decision making around a national policy, implementation of a Plan of Action, the appropriate Law and Standards to promote investment and boost productivity and development of biofuels, within the framework of food security, environmental sustainability and within an Inclusive Business model to facilitate capacity building in rural communities that may be linked to biofuel production.

    This has been an effort by the Government of National Reconciliation and Unity of the Republic of Nicaragua, through the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) and SNV Netherlands Development Organization (SNV). The analysis of the regulatory framework focuses on analyzing the existing opportunities and constraints the development of biofuel investments. It explicitly promotes energy production from renewable sources. Regarding the regulatory framework, but no major obstacles for developing the studied agro-energy, is still at an early stage. However, it highlights the need to develop legal institutions in the sector.

    Este Diagnóstico evalúa las potencialidades y restricciones que enfrentan los biocombustibles en Nicaragua, generándose una base crítica de información que facilita y sustenta la toma de decisiones en torno a una Política Nacional, implementación de un Plan de Acción, la Ley y Normas Técnicas adecuadas para fomentar la inversión e impulsar la productividad y desarrollo de la Agroenergía para obtención de Biocombustibles, dentro del marco de la seguridad alimentaria, sustentabilidad ambiental y dentro un esquema de negocios inclusivos que facilite el desarrollo de capacidades en poblaciones rurales que puedan vincularse a la producción de biocombustibles. Este ha sido un esfuerzo del Gobierno de Reconciliación y Unidad Nacional de la República de Nicaragua a través del Ministerio de Energía y Minas (MEM) y del Servicio Holandés de Cooperación al Desarrollo (SNV).

    La riqueza global prácticamente se ha duplicado desde 1990, pero casi la mitad de la población mundial subsiste con menos de dos dólares diaros. La pobreza sigue siendo un desafío importante para el desarrollo sostenible, la seguridad ambiental, la estabilidad global y un mercado verdaderamente global.
    La clava para el alivio de la pobreza es el crecimiento económico inclusivo, que llegue a la mayoría de la población. Mejorando el rendimiento y la sostenibilidad de los empresarios locales y pequeñas y medianas empresas (PYMEs), que constituyen el eje de la actividad económica global, se puede contribuir al logro de este tipo de crecimiento.
    Este documento informativo explica cómo los gobernos pueden ayudar a aliviar la pobreza concentrándose en las PYMEs y cómo las grandes compañías pueden ayudarse a sí mismas incluyendo a las PYMEs en sus cadenas de valor. También describe algunas de las ventajas comparativas de las PYMEs y los desafíos que éstas enfrentan en países en vías de desarrollo.

    The use of bioenergy is presented as an option with many development opportunities for Latin America. With the aim to systematize information and share knowledge on biofuel production, SNV has developed a set of modules which present descriptive characteristics of crops that can be used in the production of oil, biodiesel and ethanol. The modules include information on the following plants: Jatropha curcas, Castor (Recinus communis L), Calabash (Crescentia alata), Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) and Sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum).
