Beekeeping Expert at Enabel | Kigali : Deadline: 15-03-2024

JOB VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

BEEKEEPING EXPERT (f/m)

Enabel is the Belgian development agency. It implements Belgium’s governmental cooperation. The agency also works for other national and international donors. With its partners in Belgium and abroad, Enabel offers solutions to address pressing global challenges – Climate Change, Urbanisation, Human Mobility, Peace and Security, Economic and Social Inequality – and to promote Global Citizenship. With 2,100 staff, Enabel manages about 200 projects in twenty countries, in Belgium, Africa and the Middle East.

Its staff members in Brussels and overseas embody the commitment of the Belgian State and other development partners to international solidarity.


Enabel is preparing the implementation recently signed a five-year bilateral cooperation program (2024 – 2029), with a total budget of 95 million euros, in three priority development sectors in Rwanda: health, agriculture, urbanization and support in public financial management.

Aligned with the national priorities and strategies for transforming the agricultural sector, Enabel intends to contribute to sustainable food systems in Rwanda and will integrate a new value chain – beekeeping – while assuring continuity on the value chains of focus under PRISM (pig, poultry and animal feed). The agriculture program strives to contribute to the sustainable and inclusive transformation of the Rwandan food system by integrating 3 key dimensions namely 1) food security and nutrition, 2) decent rural and urban job creation and income, 3) environmental sustainability and climate resilience.

Beekeeping in Rwanda has been practiced for decades years through successive generations and along inherited patterns. However, the activity has basically been traditional and of subsistence in nature, where honey was used as a food product for home, medicine and for brewing traditional liquor. Low productivity and quality are important constraints. The potential for production of honey and beeswax is huge but the quality is still far below international standards. There exists a big potential for exporting honey and beeswax as its demand in the world market is very high especially organic certified honey.

Apart from a direct source of income. beekeeping plays an important role in natural resources management as well as improve livelihoods of vulnerable communities by offering opportunities to pollinate crops, regenerate and improve pastures and forests. Beekeeping is favorable to vulnerable communities because of the value attached to its products, low upfront costs, low maintenance, environmental conservation, high ecological benefits and does not compete for space with cultivation of crops. It is considered as one of the key sectors with potential for growth, employment creation, enterprise development and income earning opportunities in Rwanda.


The overall objective of the project/intervention is to make sure that the beekeeping industry’s contribution to inclusive economic growth in Rwanda is enhanced. Namely, quality honey produced in an environmentally sustainable manner leads to increased market penetration. Complementarity of synergies action will be sought with Agroforestry and Landscape management interventions (TREPA and COMBIO)

The beekeeping component under the new Enabel Smart Agriculture, Agroforestry and Landscape management portfolio, is expected to improve the beekeeping value chain through enhanced quality of production, value addition of bee products and strengthen trade and market access to local, regional and international markets.
