The most important among these are schemes to improve education and employability, often targeting women more specifically: Programa de Infraestructura Basica para la Atencion de los Pueblos Indfgenas; Programa de Education Initial y Basica para la Poblacion Rural e Indigena; Programas Albergues Escolares Indfgenas and Programa Organization Productiua para Mujeres Indxgenas.
