A project to improve and upgrade the manufacturing, processing and marketing of honey has opened up the beekeeping market in Uganda, increasing incomes for 2,000 smallholder farmers across the very spread out project areas (Acholi and Karamoja).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With financial support from the Danish Government (DANIDA) and Irish Aid, alongside being implemented by Self Help Africa and Golden Bees Ltd, the project is providing education and support about all things beekeeping related to small-time farmers across Acholi and Karamoja, a former centre of tribal conflict and ethnic violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The MORE Honey Project is providing training and support to over 60 local groups. They have set up over 13 demonstration sites to teach new beekeepers, they have trained 11 community-based trainers, and have trained 15 artisans to construct new hives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
