The Savannah Women Integrated Development Agency (SWIDA – Gh), has been supporting women in five districts in the Northern Region on beekeeping for livelihood improvement.
Women in the districts, Damongo, Mion, Tolon, Kumbungu and Nanton, have received a series of training on harvesting honey and making it a venture, to support the upkeep of their households’ needs.
SWIDA – Ghana’s activity activity on facilitating for the installation of the beehives, is to enable the women beekeepers improve harvest of honey.
The bee centres are found in communities that have had many of the women make the best of beekeeping as a venture.
The beekeeping centres will serve as demonstration fields for women from neighbouring communities. The hives will help in colonising the hives and making the women harvest more.
The beekeeping under the Sustainable Livelihoods project, which aims at supporting women for better management of the households, is being implemented in partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP).
