BEEKEEPING FOR MICRO AND Small -Scale Enterprise DEVELOPMENT
Project planning matrix
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES GOAL
To improve the socioeconomic standards of the Community
in Karagwe district, in a sustainable, effective and equitable way
INTERMEDIATE OBJECTIVE(S)
To enable the Community in Karagwe district to improve their
household food security and revenues; and to protect the environment,
optimize productivity of the natural resources in an economic and sustainable
manner.
OUTPUTS(in a short term )
1. Bee keeping improved and maintained and agricultural
productivity improved
2. Marketing of honey and other honey products enhanced
3. Indigenous and planted forests/ woodlots protected
FOCAL PROBLEM(priority Problem/ need to be addressed)
1. Increased destruction of the natural resources through
bush fires, poor land use practices, etc.
2. Increasing number of bee keepers and potentially too
much honey / wax but limited access to the markets
3. Lack of cohesion among bee keepers and isolated individual
beekeepers cannot meet demand at once
4. Limited technical capacity in bee keeping practices
and management
5. Limited processing, purification, packaging and marketing
facilities/ systems for honey
MONITORING & EVALUATION (Sustainable changes in socio-economic
conditions of the people)
Productivity of the Land and other Natural Resources is
preserved through the adoption of sustainable bee keeping practices among
other things, resulting in improved food security and increased household
revenues particularly among women and the youths.
General EFFECT Description(Reactions
from the target population as a result of the project)
Target groups adopt and consolidate sustainable bee keeping
practices and environmentally sound practices to maximize benefits from
bee keeping (increased food security and revenues)
General OUTPUT during project period 2002-2005
1. Many identified potential beekeepers becoming active
in bee keeping and actually selling honey and wax to and getting some
income
2. New modern bee hives introduced
3. At least 60% of identified bee keeping receiving training
on improved/modern practices of bee keeping
4. Marketing system of honey and wax put in place by the
end of 2002 with established and essential facilities for collection,
purification, packaging and marketing.
5. Active beekeepers organized into small cooperatives
and operating their bee keeping activities as recognized coops.
Activities to realize output 1: Bee Keeping improved and
maintained
1.0 Training support to identified and active beekeepers
1.1 Identify active and potential bee keepers in the district
1.2 Train farmers in better/ and modern ways of bee keeping
and management
1.3 Post training follow-up to bee keepers in active villages/
areas of the district
2.0 Modern Bee hives development
2.1 Construct modern bee hives esp. the Kenya Top Bar (box)
hive model
2.2 Purchase /distribute harvesting gears and essential
bee harvesting equipment
Activities to realize output 2: Marketing of honey and
wax improved and enhanced
1.0 Support to formation of bee keeping coops
1.1 Mobilize bee keepers into groups/ coops) for efficient
service delivery
1.2 Leaders of established Coops trained in group dynamics
2.0 Support to FTC for the establishment of essential
infrastructures for the collection, processing, packaging and marketing
of honey
2.1 Construct a collection/ processing/ packaging premise
at Kayanga
2.2 Purchase essential equipment for handling and processing
honey
2.3 Purchase sufficient packaging/ handling materials for
the tonnage expected (at least for first season)
3.0 Provision of initial startup capital (seed money)
support to FTC for the purchase of honey (cash basis) from Bee keepers
3.1 Honey bought (min.5000 Kg) at fair prices (200/ per
Kg) and processed and marketed
3.2 Attend two trade exhibitions in a year to promote the
product
MONITORING AND EVALUATION
Enhance the technical and Institutional capacity of FADECO
and FTC to be able to effectively implement the project
-
Regular field visits to project sites and beneficiaries (Beekeepers
and markets)
-
Production of regular and periodical reports (financial and implementation
reports)
-
Regular meetings with bee keepers and with implementing staff
-
Assessment of business operations visa versa net returns to the project
Means of Verification (Process Indicators, Source, methods, information,
distribution)
-
Number of active/ potential bee keepers identified and trained in
improved/ modern ways of beekeeping husbandry; and No. of training
modules/ aspects and % of syllabus covered
-
At least 45 modern beehives constructed and distributed to 45 active
beekeepers; and at least 10 sets of harvesting gears / equipment purchased
/distributed to 10 groups
-
At least 6 beekeepers coops formed , 25 leaders of coops trained
and 2 technical workshops conducted in better bee keeping husbandry
practices.
-
A honey refinery established with at least 3 rooms (collection/store,
processing and packaging) by June 2003, and necessary processing/
refinery equipment purchased by June 2003.
-
A Local market base established with existing supermarkets or food
shops where at least 5000 Kg of Honey bought and processed is marketed
locally per year. And Infrastructures put in place for the procurement
of at least 18 Tons of pure honey for export every year.
Budgetary implications:
FADECO has estimated a budget of USD 29,713 to be able to start the
above plan.
Preliminary studies and ground work has been done. FADECO is now looking
for interested parties to partner with or to support the plan. This plan
has been made for the implementation period 2002-2005, and the information
stands valid until further information.
