| This guide targets extension workers and development agents in order to enable them to contribute to address the rural epidemic through agriculture and natural resource sector initiatives. This manual is one of the tools for rural women to address various issues related to lack of self-reliance on the one hand and on exploring approaches for self-transformation towards self-reliance on the other hand. The core objective of the "Women Population and Development" programme of China is to provide opportunities for rural poor women to achieve a certain level of self-reliance, in the belief that once women regain control on their lives they will be able to improve their general economic and social situation. |
