1994
Paner, D.M.
The agricultural rural development project for the RW [rural women] was affected by the re-organization at the national level. With the weakening of the project, the RW members individually started their own income gnerating activities. All the respondents have positive attitude and perception on rural women's participation in their project - arrowroot production and processing (ARPP), and agricultural rural development (ARD) projects. Also they expressed positive values toward involvement of women in development. Both one-way and two-way flows of communication were present. It improved the respondent's attitudes and behavior toward each other and the project. Generally, it broadened the rural women's knowledge on various aspects - technical and non-technical. It also helped the respondents solve problem objectively. Information, knowledge and skills improvement of rural women were supported by seminars, trainings, and publications. Seminars and trainings were found to be more useful to the RW compared to the use of publications, since majority of the RW had attained little or no education at all
