Building Livelihood and Environmental Resilience

By Sharone Houssenaly | Programmes and Office Assistant

In the southeast of Madagascar, beekeeping offers a vital source of income and supports local biodiversity. Through Project Renitantely, SEED Madagascar empowers local beekeepers, helping them build resilient livelihoods in the face of environmental and economic challenges. Recently, the project achieved a milestone in Phase II with a strategic visit to Compagnie du Miel in Antananarivo. Discussions on Madagascar’s honey market and export requirements brought new insights into improving market access for beekeepers in the Anosy region. This progress is crucial to ensuring that beekeepers can build stable, and resilient businesses.

In 2024, SEED empowered 16 skilled beekeepers across three communities, enhancing their ability to generate reliable income and contribute to local biodiversity. During the Interim Phase of Project Renitantely (September 2019 – July 2024), SEED focused on strengthening resilience for beekeeping communities by addressing key challenges that limit beekeeping’s potential as a sustainable livelihood. Training included advanced pest management techniques that employ natural methods using Seva and Doboka plants, avoiding chemicals and preserving both livelihood stability and biodiversity.

To address the environmental challenges impacting hive productivity, Project Renitantely has integrated natural resource management as a key aspect of resilience. SEED distributed 120 fruit tree seedlings, providing supplemental forage that helps mitigate the effects of climate change on natural resources. Without adequate forage, bees are more likely to abscond, leading to reduced hive sizes and honey yields. By investing in local vegetation, SEED supports both hive sustainability and biodiversity. Such initiative aligns with the broader goal of raising resilience by building both capacity and sustainable infrastructure for local beekeeping businesses.

Through Project Renitantely, SEED Madagascar is not only strengthening household incomes but also fostering environmental resilience, ensuring that the beekeeping communities in Anosy have the tools and skills necessary to thrive. Thank you for supporting this sustainable journey toward resilience and independence in Madagascar.
