الملخص

هدفت الدراسة إلى التعرف على أثر المشروعات النسوية الصغيرة الممولة على تمكين المرأة الريفية الفلسطينية اقتصادياً، وسعت الدراسة إلى الإجابة على التساؤل الرئيس الذي يدور حول علاقة امتلاك المرأة لمشروع ممول بتمكينها اقتصادياً، ولتحقيق أهداف الدراسة تم استخدام منهج المسح الاجتماعي، حيث تم تصميم استبانة كأداة لاستقصاء آراء عينة عشوائية منتظمة من النساء الريفيات في محافظة رام الله والبيرة واللواتي حصلن عن مشروع ممول، حيث بلغ عدد أفراد العينة (142) امرأة يشكلن 15% من مجتمع الدراسة. وتشير النتائج إلى وجود تحسن في جميع مجالات الدراسة (الاستقلال المادي، حرية اتخاذ القرارات، تقسيم العمل) والتي تساهم في وصول المرأة الفلسطينية الريفية إلى مرحلة التمكين الاقتصادي من وجهة نظرها، ووجود فروق دالة إحصائياً عند (α≤0.05) بين متوسطات إجابات المبحوثات لأثر امتلاك المرأة لمشروع صغير وتمكينهن تبعاً للمتغيرات (المستوى التعليمي، الحالة الاجتماعية، ملكية المشروع) باستثناء عامل الاستقلال المادي، حيث تبين وجود فروق في الإجابات تبعاً لمتغير (الحالة الاجتماعية) ولصالح فئة عزباء.
