In order to fight against poverty and promote sustainable and inclusive rural development, adopting a gender dimension and articulating with the local productive and social environment are widely acknowledged imperatives. This requires building up networks, mobilising multiple resources and actors and, above all, a global analysis and a variety of changes in which personal, family, productive and socio-political dimensions are indivisibly articulated. In this sense, and as an example, promoting a higher female participation and representation through strong organisations committed to these principles has proved to be a powerful and effective contribution.

By achieving these objectives, vocational training plays a key role though this is not always explicit and even though actors are not fully aware of this. By systematising ten years of work of AMRU from the perspective of the processes of change in these four dimensions, this book enables to visualise its contributions and learn and acquire good practices in order to increase labour opportunities, citizenship participation and the quality of life of women and rural families.
