Africa is blessed with abundant natural resources, from rainforests, wildlife and favorable weather. The continent in general and the Congo Basin in particular offers an ideal environment for beekeeping. It can readily be initiated using local resources. A collection of diverse organizations have entered into a partnership with indigenous Congolese communities to introduce beekeeping as a means for rendering local communities sustainable, protecting the environment and enhancing livelihood. The panelists will share how other formations can be a part of the undertaking, provide an overview of beekeeping and its importance to the African continent and elaborate on the effort being undertaken by local Congolese to make beekeeping a fundamental part of their development initiatives.
