Description

This case study explores how integrated interventions of government and NGOs have built on the economic potential of the honey sector, to ensure both commercial success and women's economic empowerment. Bee-keeping cooperatives in Ethiopia have brought positive change to women's lives through promoting changes in extension training, awareness-raising with men, and introducing new technology and inclusive policies in farmers' organisations.
