| description | This article aims to contribute to the evaluation of development policies for female
farmers based on their beneficiaries attitudes. For this, it was conducted a survey in
the Metropolitan Region of Santiago, Chile, to a representative sample of participants in
the "Education and training program for rural women" of the Chilean National Institute
for Agricultural Development. The questionnaire applied was divided into the following
sections: i) personal characteristics of the farmers and their family unit; ii) technical,
productive and commercial features; iii) farm and household income; and iv) vision
of themselves and program-related attitudes. The data collected was processed by
descriptive and multivariate techniques such as principal components and cluster
analysis. The results show a positive assessment of the program on an aggregate level,
although there are significant dissimilarities within the sample, allowing three clusters
to be identified: "reticent participants" (42.3%), "associative participants" (20.5%) and
"empowered participants" (37.2%). The farmers on those clusters present differences
not only in their attitudes towards the program but also in their education level, income,
farm profitability and balance between productive and domestic roles. Its concluded
that individual characteristics and circumstances impact beneficiaries perception of the
programs, which should be considered in their design and implementation. |

Este artículo tiene como propósito contribuir a la evaluación de las políticas de desarrollo dirigidas a mujeres campesinas, considerando en este sentido las actitudes de sus propias beneficiarias. Para ello, se aplicó una encuesta en la Región Metropolitana de Santiago, Chile, a una muestra representativa de participantes del programa "Formación y Capacitación para mujeres campesinas" del Instituto Nacional de Desarrollo Agropecuario. El cuestionario utilizado se dividió en las siguientes secciones: i) características personales de las productoras y de sus unidades familiares; ii) rasgos técnicos, productivos y comerciales; iii) ingreso predial y familiar; y iv) visión respecto de ellas mismas; así como actitudes frente al programa. La información levantada se procesó mediante técnicas descriptivas y multivariantes, como componentes principales y análisis de conglomerados. Los resultados obtenidos muestran una valoración positiva del programa a nivel agregado, sin embargo con diferencias significativas entre las encuestadas, permitiendo identificar tres grupos: "participantes reticentes" (42,3%), "participantes asociativas" (20,5%) y "participantes empoderadas" (37,2%). Las agricultoras en cada grupo divergen no solo en sus actitudes respecto del programa, sino también en su nivel educacional, ingreso, rentabilidad de sus negocios y relación entre los roles productivo y doméstico. Se concluye que las características y circunstancias individuales impactan en la percepción que las beneficiarias tienen sobre los programas, lo que debe ser considerado en su diseño y ejecución.
