It also aims to build the capacity of public and private agencies that provide technical and managerial services to poor rural people, for purposes of businesses development and entrepreneurship. Specifically, the project aims to:

The target group encompasses 12,000 poor rural families. The beneficiaries are poor rural producers, with or without land, who work in agricultural and non-agricultural activities and have the potential and willingness to engage in rural businesses.

The project pays special attention to women, young people and agrarian settlers. It also targets professionals working in public and private institutions, and producers' organizations, who are involved in technical assistance and business promotion in rural areas.
