Muzarabani Field Mission

As part of the sustainable livelihoods intervention of the IOM, mobile and vulnerable households (mostly displaced ex-farm workers) are assisted with appropriate livelihood skills training to enable them to sustain themselves and increase their household food security level as well.

In the Muzarabani Valley, ex-farm workers are provided with training in proper ways of bee keeping. In my first visit to the area, I chanced upon ex-farmworkers undergoing a bee keeping training conducted under the shade of a Baobab Tree. This was the third batch (out of four batches) of ex-farmworkers identified to undergo the bee keeping training.
