Honey training program
KIBCA is organizing workshops to train village representatives on how to set up a honey project. There will be one workshop in the north of Kolombangara (15-19 Aug) and another in the south (in Oct). Those trained will be able to borrow a set of specialist honey-making equipment from KIBCA. The project is a collaboration between KIBCA and the Western Province’s Agricultural Department. Equipment is provided by a grant from WWF Melanesia. This is a good example of the helpful partnerships KIBCA often has between community-based organisations, government and industry.
