Background
Hashoo
Foundation
(HF)
with
the
financial
support
of
the
Chapelwood
Foundation
(CWF),
has
built
the
capacity
of
underprivileged
women
in
Gilgit-Baltistan
(GB)
in
honey
bee
farming
for
the
last
four
years.
CWF
is
playing
an
important
role
in
helping
alleviate
poverty
in
GB.
In
2013,
CWF
awarded
a
4th
grant
for
$9,000
to
HF
to
train
twenty
(20)
women
from
GahkuchBalla,
in
District
Ghizer,
in
beekeeping
skills.
Upon
completion
of
the
training,
sixty
(60)
beehives
and
twenty
(20)
production
kits
were
distributed
amongst
the
new
trainees.
The
trainees
extended
their
gratitude
to
the
CWF
for
the
generous
contribution
to
help
improve
the
living
standard
of
women
in
the
remote
areas
of
GB
and
recognize
the
efforts
of
HF
for
arranging
the
trainings.
Honey
bee
farming
is
a
unique
area
where
HF
has
strong
capacity.
HF
facilitates
the
training,
Value
Chain
Development
(VCD),
organization
of
business
groups,
distribution
of
beehives
and
production
kits
and
links
their
trainees
with
the
market,
providing
them
with
innovative
branding
and
marketing
strategies.
The
project
is
one
of
its
kind
and
contributes
to
the
HFs
overall
economic
development
strategy
in
the
target
area.
It
has
helped
women
become
self-sustained
and
independent.
The
Mountain
Honey
brand,
produced
by
the
Plan
Bee
beneficiaries,
is
now
being
supplied
to
Serena,
Marriott,
and
Pearl-Continental
Hotels,
and
to
a
range
of
domestic
supermarkets
across
Pakistan.

Community Mobilization
HFs
regional
team
initiated
a
dialogue
with
the
target
community
in
collaboration
with
the
Best
Town
Local
Support
Organization
(BTLSO)
in
Gahkuch,
Ghizer.
The
communities
expressed
a
keen
desire
for
the
beekeeping
training.
HF
engaged
BTLSO
and
delegated
the
responsibility
to
mobilize
and
identify
the
deserving
women.
5.2
HF
field
team
in
collaboration
with
the
BTLSO
followed
predefined
selection
criteria
to
reach
out
to
the
most
vulnerable
families,
with
the
priority
given
to
orphans,
disabled,
widows
and
other
potential
beneficiaries.
HF
and
BTLSO
identified
targeted
women
trainees
through
a
participatory
selection
process.
A
meeting
was
held
with
Women
Organizations
and
Community
Based
Organizations
(CBOs)
in
the
village.
The
participants
were
briefed
about
the
importance
of
micro
enterprise
development
and
honey
bee
farming.
They
were
informed
that
beekeeping
was
an
income
generating
activity
with
an
incubation
period
of
five
months,
which
could
be
undertaken
at
cottage
level;
as
it
did
not
require
heavy
investments
or
infrastructure.
The
participants
were
also
informed
that
congenial
climatic
conditions
and
availability
of
bee
flora
in
Ghizer
District
was
an
excellent
opportunities
for
beekeeping.
The
participants
highlighted
the
need
of
onsite
appropriate
training
with
equipment.

After
the
initial
meeting,
analysis
of
the
baseline
survey
and
recommendations
of
community
leaders
and
BTLSO,
twenty
(20)
trainees
were
identified
on
the
following
selection
criteria:

A
consensus
was
built
for
implementation
of
the
project
and
the
training
schedule
was
finalized
with
the
participation
of
the
selected
trainees
and
their
communities.
Based
on
mutual
consensus
the
training
on
honey
bee
farming
was
scheduled
from
May
05
to
May
11,
2014,
and
the
training
on
value
chain
development
was
schedule
from
July
05
to
July
07,
2014.
Both
trainings
were
conducted
as
per
planned
schedule.
The
topics
covered
as
per
planned
training
schedule
are
included
in
Annexure
A.
5.4
Post-training Evaluation
Post-training
evaluation
was
conducted
to
assess
the
learning
level
of
the
trainees
and
to
seek
their
feedback
on
overall
training
environment.
Following
questions
were
asked
in
this
regard;
Beekeepers
stated
that,
first
time
ever
in
their
life;
they
had
exposure
to
the
bees
and
witnessed
honey
production.
Earlier,
some
of
the
trainees
were
of
the
view
that
honey
is
the
feces
of
bees
and
admitted
their
limited
information
about
the
bees.
During
the
training,
they
came
to
know
about
the
whole
process
of
honey
production
and
uses
of
honey
for
different
8
|
P a g e
purposes.
Moreover
they
added
that,
they
also
learnt
about
division
of
Labor
among
bees.
For
them,
it
was
very
fascinating
to
know
about
how
bees
work
in
a
group.
The
role
of
queen,
guards
and
workers
are
predefined
and
everyone
is
doing
their
jobs
so
well.
Furthermore,
they
learnt,
how
to
run
business
in
a
group
and
benefits
of
group
business.
They
also
stated
that,
they
learnt
new
skills
and
started
an
activity,
which
is
allowing
them
to
do
something
different
from
their
daily
mundane
activities,
which
enabled
them
to
earn.
Other
than
an
economic
activity,
the
project
also
brought
an
opportunity
to
meet
trainees
with
new
people.
One
of
the
trainees
stated
that,
for
us
this
is
unique
opportunity
to
meet
new
people
and
we
are
excited
to
visit
other
villages
along
with
the
beehives.
We
have
never
been
to
other
places.
The
trainees
showed
their
satisfaction
to
overall
practical
work,
they
had
in
the
field.
For
them,
it
was
easy
to
learn
since
the
trainer
was
speaking
in
their
native
language.
The
overall
feedback
was
very
positive
and
trainees
were
very
happy
from
the
given
opportunity
and
were
more
excited
to
travel
to
other
places
in
group
in-order
to
extract
honey
in
the
field.
They
were
feeling
more
confident
since
they
will
also
contribute
to
their
household
income.
5.5
Monitoring
is
the
key
mechanism
to
gauge
the
projects
success
and
to
take
the
prerequisite
measures,
if
progress
does
not
meet
expectations.
HF
enterprise
development
team
visited
the
project
area
on
July
22,
2013,
to
meet
the
trainees
and
held
a
day-long
session
to
discuss
the
progress
and
challenges
of
the
project.
Local
stakeholders
and
members
of
the
BTLSO
were
also
in
the
meeting
session.
They
shared
some
productive
ideas
for
improvements,
and
particularly
they
were
cognizant
about
the
shifting
of
beehives
during
the
winter
and
rainy
season.
BTLSO
ensured
the
beekeepers
of
their
support
in
shifting
beehives
to
down
the
country.

were
organized
as
a
business
group,
named
Shaheen
Honey
Business
Group
and
registered
as

Organization
(LSO).
Now
they
are
working
under
the
umbrella
of
the

5.8
VCD
training
was
arranged
for
twenty
(20)
beneficiaries
of
the
Shaheen
Honey
Business
Group
in
Gahkkuch
Balla
in
Ghizer
with
an
objective
to
make
the
beekeepers
aware
of
basic
knowledge
of
value
addition
techniques
and
VCD
concepts
which
would
improve
their
product
and
help
increase
their
income.
Mr.
Kamal
Uddin,
Program
Manager
Enterprise
Development
facilitated
the
training
and
briefed
the
trainees
on
VCD
steps,
including
quality
assurance,
processing,
packaging,
and
marketing,
while
maintaining
supply
of
the
honey-made
products
in
a
systematic
manner.
The
participants
learnt
how
value
addition
could
help
them
increase
the
demand
and
expand
the
market
of
their
product.

Women
of
the
Shaheen
Honey
Business
Group
developed
their
own
honey
brand
named
Shaheen-Honey.
Since
there
were
not
many
brands
of
honey
available
in
local
market,
the
business
group
received
positive
response
from
nearby
towns
and
villages.
The
group
even
didnt
feel
to
make
more
efforts
in
marketing
since
the
demand
was
very
high.
Initially,
HF
helped
in
developing,
branding
and
marketing
of
the
honey,
however,
now
women
are
independently
marketing
and
selling
honey.
On
the
other
hand,
the
BTLSO
provides
technical
assistant
to
the
women
of
the
Shaheen
Honey
Business
Group
and
shares
their
progress
and
challenges
with
HF
to
strengthen
the
women
based
enterprises.

P a g e
Shaheen
Honey
Business
Group
received
a
huge
demand
for
raw
honey,
resultantly
they
sold
all
the
produced
honey
in
raw
form
in
the
local
market.
Therefore
the
group
didnt
required
to
use
packaging
and
branding.
This
year
they
produced
285
kg
(627
lb)
and
sold
an
average
of
PKR.
1,
000
(US$
10)
per
kg,
which
was
a
great
achievement
for
the
Shaheen
women
honey
business
group.
Before
starting
the
project,
HF
team
conducted
series
of
meetings
with
all
the
political
and
religious
leaders
to
avoid
hurdles
during
the
project
life
cycle.
Environmental
risk,
harsh
winter
and
lack
of
infrastructure,
is
the
key
factor
in
GB
and
Chitral.
Keeping
in
mind
such
risks,
HF
developed
business
groups
of
beneficiaries
for
collective
shifting
of
the
beehives
to
reduce
transportation
cost
and
other
risks.
Apart
from
this,
HF
signed
an
agreement
with
the
supplier
to
assist
the
beneficiaries
to
shift
their
beehives
to
the
down
country
in
off-season
and
deliver
back
to
the
project
site
during
season.
Initially,
it
was
very
difficult
to
mobilize
the
women
due
to
cultural
sensitivities,
but
HF
curtailed
this
challenge
through
engaging
community
elders
and
relevant
stakeholders
during
the
beneficiarys
selection
process.
9- Lessons Learnt
HF
found
that
building
capacity
of
the
marginalized
people,
particularly
women,
not
only
provides
them
with
encouragement
and
improves
their
socio-economic
conditions,
but
also
provides
them
with
decision
making
skills.
The
women
have
great
potential
to
benefit
from
income
generation
initiatives
and
to
utilize
the
knowledge,
gained
through
different
capacity
building
programs
to
upgrade
their
businesses.
Honey
beekeeping
is
a
model
of
civil
society
enterprise
development.
Beekeepers
know
the
way
bees
are
organized
and
have
specific
role
to
play
in
producing
honey.
With
a
clear
understanding
of
the
teamwork,
participating
in
the
tasks,
to
achieve
desirable
results
can
lead
to
an
organized
society
among
the
people,
particularly
women
and
other
partners
such
as
shopkeepers,
traders
and
suppliers.
HF
realized
that
the
trained
beekeepers
can
play
an
important
role
in
creating
an
enabling
environment
in
the
society
and
can
help
to
create
diversity
and
tolerance,
which
are
the
milestones
for
a
civil
society.
Beekeepers
are
more
confident
and
motivated
to
become
a
social
change
agent
through
such
micro
entrepreneurial
initiatives.
VCD
of
the
product/service
is
the
integral
part
of
the
civil
society
development
and
value
chain
of
the
honey
might
promote
socio-cultural
and
civil
society
sustainability
10- Conclusion
The
fact
remains
that
women
are
about
51%
of
the
country
and
have
a
very
low
contribution
to
the
family
income.
This
project
provided
an
opportunity
to
women
to
earn
livelihood
for
their
families
by
undertaking
entrepreneurial
initiatives.
