As the world celebrates World Bee Day 2025, the UK Government is highlighting the impact of its Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) through the Animal Health System Strengthening (AHSS) Project in Ghana.
This initiative demonstrates how international partnerships can advance sustainable development, climate action, and global health security.
Aligned with this year's theme, "Bee Engaged with Youth," the AHSS Project is empowering Ghana's institutions, women, and academic communities through climate-smart beekeeping, inclusive enterprise, and modern veterinary education.
The project has led to the creation of Ghana's first Bee Health Manual, the establishment of apiaries, and the integration of bee health into university curricula.
