About this project
M. Viland, Biologiste from ABEIL is responsible for this project
The Wendsongda cluster in the Boromo province is a cluster of 23 villages located in the protected forest of Balé. This organization was set up to produce honey.
The proximity of the forest and of wild animals leads the population to exploit natural resources - burning wood for cooking or producing charcoal, cutting the trees - without consideration for environmental consequences.
The Wendsongda cluster is a member of the Union of Forest Management Clusters set up by the American project AJI/RPYS. The AJI/RPYS has established the limits of the protected forest, planted village-owned forests and installed modern beehives in apicultural groves sheltered from pollutions. The inhabitants have been trained to apiculture and were provided with adequate necessary outfits. Beekeeping became a way to control deforestation. By the end of the project, because of difficulties met in collecting and packing honey, beehives were neglected and forests degraded. It was with the objective to protect the forest and resume the apiculture, that these 23 villages have set up the Wendsongda cluster.
In Burkina Faso, beekeeping is a traditional activity, which currently enjoys an additional boom, thanks to the introduction of improved methods of exploitation for the production of high quality honey. This production is enhanced by the situation of the hives in a protected forest of shea trees, which offers a wide variety of melliferous plants: the honey thus collected is particularly aromatic and has a pleasant taste. This has already improved the living conditions of the local population and in particular alleviated the malnutrition of children. The Wendsongda cluster, presided by Mr. Djakaria Guira - agricultural expert and passionate beekeeper - fights against poverty. ABEIL has carried out a feasibility study and together with the President of the Cluster and the Environment Management Directorate of Boromo, has established a budget of the necessary investments for the reforestation of the degraded apicultural groves; the construction of a local laboratory for conditioning honey production; the supply of potable water, and a programme for the improvement of the hygienic conditions in handling honey.
During this feasibility study, funding requests have been submitted to FEM/ONG . Funding of the reforestation of the degraded apicultural groves and construction of a local laboratory for conditioning honey production are being examined and will be granted should ABEIL succeed in getting funds for the other two components:
Funding for the provision to the 23 villages of the Cluster of a programme of hygienic measures so as to avoid the pollution of the honey products.
Funding for the provision of a modern water supply in the village of Lapara. (drilling equipped with a hand pump ).
For the time being ABEIL is concentrating on raising funds for the first component, i.e. the preparation and implementation of a hygienic measures programme.
