The primary objective of this initiative is to empower women with access to high-quality equipment essential for honey production, alongside supplementary resources to ensure the availability of fresh honey. During the reporting period, PALISEP successfully distributed the following equipment to women:

• 5 pairs of gloves
• 5 bee suits and jackets to protect against bee stings
• 5 pairs of boots for foot and ankle protection
• 2 manual processing machines

Outcome:

The beneficiaries have successfully implemented their long-term strategies for honey production. Their interim plan includes bi-weekly processing sessions on Mondays and Thursdays, while other days are dedicated to marketing and production activities. A rotating schedule already in place to manage sales and production. Weekly meetings are held to monitor production, sales, and marketing efforts, with a leadership structure established for the next 12 months. An annual meeting will be convened to elect new leadership, creating opportunities for beneficiaries to share progress and gain valuable insights.
