This was achieved with the support of the ComRural II project and the World Bank Group. These stories of women producers, workers, and leaders show that women’s economic empowerment drives rural development, reduces labor vulnerability, and creates role models for future generations. ComRural II has supported 19 business plans of Rural Producer Organizations (RPOs), with more than 2,500 members, one third of whom are women. © 2026 Grupo Banco Mundial.
