In Ghana’s Afram Plains, people displaced from protected areas have lost access to land, livelihoods and traditional sources of income. People with disabilities and women face the greatest barriers, leading to poverty, food insecurity and social exclusion. At the same time, forests are under pressure from bushfires and unsustainable activities such as charcoal production. This project provides sustainable livelihoods through beekeeping while helping communities protect and restore nature.
Bees for Development Ghana will train 40 local Bee Champions who will support 400 people, prioritising people with disabilities and women, to establish sustainable beekeeping enterprises. Participants will learn hive making, honey harvesting, business skills and value-added product development. We will connect beekeepers to reliable markets and provide training in forest protection, fire prevention and natural regeneration, creating lasting livelihoods while conserving the environment.
