  El Programa de la Mujer Agraria (PROMUSAG) busca generar empleo para mujeres de áreas rurales y mejorar sus condiciones de vida. Este artículo da cuenta de la evaluación de expectativas y resultados del PROMUSAG en Tabasco en los años 2004 y 2006. Para determinar estos resultados se realizó una encuesta representativa a las beneficiarias. Se encontró que el apoyo recibido representó un ahorro familiar más allá de cambios en sus condiciones de vida. Se comprobó que estas mujeres ceden la operación de sus proyectos productivos. Finalmente, la escasa cobertura da poco margen a resultados positivos.

  Gender programs in rural Mexico are still in their initial stages. The Woman’s Program in the Agrarian Sector aims to generate employment and improve living conditions for women in Rural Mexico. This article looks at the expectation and results of PROMUSAG program in The State of Tabasco between the years of 2004 and 2006. A representative survey was carried out to evaluate the benefits of this program in the state. It was found that the support given by this program was seen by the women as no more than a type of household saving rather than a significant change in family circumstances. Saying this, the women mentioned that they were satisfied with the program and the results. The study found that many women, due to a lack of time, often stopped operating the projects. Finally the low coverage of this program, there is a small margin for positive results.
