PROMER
The material designed by the Programme for the Support of Rural
Micro Enterprises in Latin America and the Caribbean (PROMER-
IFAD) has been used for activities that aim at improving the
development of rural micro-enterprises. This initiative is the
response to a strategy oriented to continuously and systematically
spread various issues with the objective of them being easily
used for small rural producers, rural and technical micro entrepreneurs
highlighting the importance of the way in which a Business Plan
is created, structured and assessed.

Material for training in agroindustrial marketing
Izquierdo Sandí, Eduardo
Mercadeo
Agroindustrial (Agroindustrial marketing). 1st edition.
Tegucigalpa, Honduras: INFOP, IFAIN, 2002. 52p.
Considering that the development of the agricultural sector
in Honduras has not managed to consolidate mainly because farmers
have concentrated on selling raw materials without providing
them with an added value, there arises a new view of agriculture
- the so-called expanded agriculture - which sees the agricultural
sector interact with other sectors of the economy. This support
educational material is a useful tool for farmers and rural
workers interested in becoming trained in order to improve productive
processes.
- Material
for Multimedia Training
National Service of Occupational Training in Industry (SENATI)
- Peru
Although SENATI does not provide vocational training oriented
exclusively to rural population, the Programa de Capacitación
Multimedial (PROCAMM) could be pointed out among its operational
technical programmes; this programme is oriented to workers
of micro and small-sized enterprises and it trains in some issues
connected with the agroindustrial and agricultural sector.
- Series
of "cartillas" on vocational raining
Rural Vocational Training National Service (SENAR) - Brazil
The "cartillas" are a printed institutional resource
that is useful as study material and facilitates learning as
well as the selection of contents in an orderly way.
Rural Vocational Training "cartillas" are aimed specifically
at workers and rural producers while Social Promotion "cartillas"
are aimed at workers and rural producers and their families.
They are distributed by the Regional Administrations so that
trainers can use them in courses and training events with rural
population in issues such as floriculture, fruit production,
honey production, creation of nurseries, etc.
