In the heart of Uganda’s Rwenzori region lies a tale of transformation, where the simple act of beekeeping has improved livelihoods and fostered environmental stewardship and economic growth. Mr. Adolph Bagonza, a veteran beekeeper, is a living testament to the power of community support, catalyzed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Uganda and facilitated by the Private Sector Development and Consultancy Centre (PRICON).
Born into a family familiar with beekeeping, Adolph Bagonza’s journey into the world of apiculture began as a professional pursuit in 1990. His early fascination with beekeeping was nurtured by a project initiated at his school in 1985, guided by a visionary reverend father. Recognizing the potential for collective progress, the reverend encouraged the formation of an association dedicated to beekeeping, aiming to empower young individuals in the community.
