Hands-on Consultancy Service plc through Australia Embassy Direct Aid Program, successfully accomplished an Impact Assessment Project on Effective Beekeeping Management, at SNNPR region of Wolayita Zone Sodo Zuria District. The Impact assessment project which focused on enhancing Effective Beekeeping Management of targeted female beekeepers was a one-year project with the objective of:
 Scaling up and promoting beekeeping as a viable diversification enterprise for targeted female beekeepers.
 Demonstrating how beekeeping can become an important business for small-scale female farmers in their agricultural endeavors and how this can support their livelihoods in rural and remote areas.
In the project area beekeeping used to be a family undertaking, where men provide for harvesting, while women and children tend to honey extraction and processing. However the project through intensive and continuous capacity strengthening in terms of awareness creation, training, continuous follow up and provision of modern beekeeping materials realized an attitude change in the female beekeepers and their families that:
 Women can successfully use beekeeping as a livelihood enterprise.
 Beekeeping can be located and done in and around the farm household; it does not require excessive labor and time to manage, as bees do the majority of the work.
 Women do not have to travel far to tender the enterprise and it can be a ready source of cash in times of need, as bee products can be sold to neighbors or in local markets.
 Beekeeping enables women to be part of an economic activity, which can provide them with income and an independence that can support them in difficult times.
 It is also a flexible activity, where there is no need for constant tendering, for example as with livestock and crops, and hence allows women to follow other matters on farm as well.
