The aim of this study was to analyze the appropriation of the Alternativa FM Communitarian Radio by the women involved in the actions of the non-governmental organization Nazaré da Mata Women Association – Amunam. What was specifically wanted was to understand the point until which the work in the production of a communitarian radio contributes for the development of the human and social capitals of these women. Searching the communitarian radios as initiatives that are related to the local development constituted a possibility to think of the communication produced by the popular contexts and directed toward them. In the specific case of a work that evaluated the production of a communitarian radio by agricultural women, the condition to think of the construction of human and social capitals in these women came from this radio practice. The theoretical support for Communitarian Radio was based on authors as Cicília Perruzzo, Lílian Bahia and Dioclécio Luz. The question of Gender was brought by Joan Scott, Norma Sanchís, and Alma Espino; the Social Capital by Carlos Julio Jara, Robert Putnam and Heloiza Matos; and the perspective of communication directed to the local development was emphasized by the authoress Maria Salett Tauk Santos. It is a study of case that used combined techniques of data collection, such as: bibliographical research, documentary analysis and half-structuralized interview with the Amunam coordinators, the Alternativa FM directors, coordinators and female broadcasters of this radio station. During the work, it was observed that the Amunam, through the Alternativa FM Radio Station, develops a project directed to the local development using endogenous energies towards the attempt of accomplishing improvements in Nazaré da Mata, which are related to the human capital construction, when they make the formation and development of the female broadcasters‟ technical abilities possible, and the social capital‟s, as the work in the radio station stimulates contribution and political participation of these women who are involved in the radio practice, although it is perceived that the human and social capitals are still being formed and are part of a process that is not suddenly established.
