BUNGOMA, KENYA – 22nd July 2026 – A productive meeting was held at the County Commissioner’s Boardroom in Bungoma Town, bringing together Eliud Odara, Bungoma County Director for Social Development, and the Savannah Honey team to discuss strategic collaboration aimed at expanding sustainable beekeeping initiatives across the county.

The high-level engagement marked a significant step in strengthening the partnership between Savannah Honey and Bungoma County government, with both parties committing to work together to unlock the full potential of apiculture as a driver of economic growth and community empowerment.

Key Discussion Areas

The discussions focused on several critical areas aimed at transforming livelihoods through modern beekeeping:

Empowering communities through practical beekeeping training and capacity building

Creating employment opportunities for youth and women across the county

Improving household incomes through sustainable honey production and value addition

Promoting environmental conservation through apiculture and pollination services

Strengthening market linkages for honey and value-added products

“We are excited about the progress we are making with Bungoma County,” said a Savannah Honey representative. “The commitment from county leadership, as demonstrated by this meeting, shows that beekeeping is being recognized as a serious enterprise capable of creating jobs, building wealth, and protecting our environment.”

A Shared Vision for Transformation

The meeting underscored the shared vision between Savannah Honey and Bungoma County to create lasting impact through sustainable agriculture. By combining Savannah Honey’s technical expertise in modern beekeeping with the county’s reach and resources, the partnership is poised to deliver tangible benefits to communities across Bungoma.

The collaboration builds on the successful county-wide beekeeping empowerment program that Savannah Honey recently completed in Bungoma, which attracted hundreds of participants from all sub-counties. The momentum generated by that initiative is now being channeled into a more structured and sustained partnership.

Commitment to Collaboration

Savannah Honey reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with government institutions and development partners to transform livelihoods through beekeeping and value addition. The organization’s model of training, capacity building, and market access has proven effective in creating sustainable enterprises that benefit entire communities.

Eliud Odara, Bungoma County Director for Social Development, expressed enthusiasm for the continued partnership, noting that beekeeping offers a unique opportunity for social and economic transformation, particularly for vulnerable groups such as youth, women, and persons with disabilities.

Looking Ahead

As the partnership deepens, Savannah Honey and Bungoma County will explore opportunities to:

Scale up training programs to reach more communities

Establish demonstration apiaries and training centers

Facilitate access to quality hives and equipment

Develop value addition and processing capacities

Create sustainable market linkages for honey producers
