To ensure that their concerns and needs are taken into account, the plan provides for the integration in this cell of rural communal activities (a space for the expression of the needs of the populations in view of the initiation and the management of a project) of a female facilitator representing women from the concerned locality so that the specific needs of this fringe of the population are taken into account. Many of the numerous outreach projects for rural integration development (PPDRI) that have been implemented in the framework of the support program of rural renewal, benefited women. The presence of women in these projects indicates the willingness to integrate rural women in the development process and to consider them as stakeholders in the rural development programs. Nevertheless, this willingness does not always resonate in the field. For example, out of the 2.000 projects implemented in 2009, only approximately a tenth benefits women. Taking into account the importance of the role of women in general in the social and economic development, the sector of vocational training has granted a particular attention to the issue of rural women. It has stressed the aspect of training for women, which constitutes the backbone of any of their promotion. In this framework, it established an annual national conference on education and support of rural women and housewives. The first national conference took place in March 2008 and aimed at initiating a debate on the concerns and expectations of the participants (who had come from all regions of the country) on the training and support systems. This event was the first of its kind and has enabled the formation of a space of discussion, of dialogue and of consultation. The results of the workshops organized on this occasion have lead to recommendations, which have been translated into an cross-sectoral action plan for the year 2008. A second conference of the same kind took place in 2009; it underlined the progress and addressed the shortcomings with regard to the expressed needs. The recommendations issued in this second meeting allowed the updating of the cross-sectoral action plan of the year 2009. The cross-sectoral action program stemming from these recommendations involves not only the public services but equally the associative movement. It aims to improve the efficiency of the different plans developed by the sectors for the improvement and integration of women in social and economic sphere. This action plan is about:  The aspects related to the organization of trainings for women,  The support mechanisms to make sure that trainings are adapted to the specific needs of women,  The literacy component,  Employment and the creation of income generating activities.
