Guatemala: Beekeeping

Asked by James McMurdockIndependentForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 30 June 2026UIN 11904

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the British Embassy Guatemala City's press release entitled UK and partners strengthen climate resilience and conservation in Guatemala, published on 11 June 2026, what assessment she has made of whether the beekeeping activities funded through the project would have occurred without UK financial support.

Answered by Chris Elmore

I refer the Hon Member to the press release cited in his sixteen questions, and to the Darwin Initiative website, which provides further information on the project. This includes its costs and outcomes, and explains why the UK has been funding projects such as this under successive governments since 1993.
