Spanish term

capacitadores

Spanish to English Social Sciences International Org/Dev/Coop
This is the context paragraph:

Se considera estratégico resaltar el papel de la mujer en el sistema de medidas de la defensa civil, teniendo en cuenta que aproximadamente el 50% de las personas involucradas en estas actividades son mujeres. Específicamente en la provincia de Pinar del Río, la Primera Secretaria del Partido y Presidenta del Consejo de Defensa Provincial es una mujer. Asimismo, está previsto que la mayor parte de los capacitadores sean mujeres quienes a su vez capacitarán a niños y niñas como efecto multiplicador de los conocimientos que estos desarrollan en su núcleo familiar.

Regardless of whether they are volunteers or get paid, I think the term that suits the context best is "instructors."

educators/tutors

Although there may be others, here are two terms often used in this context. Good luck!!

If the "capacitadores" are not paid (which is often the case), you might even consider "volunteer educators/tutors" :-)

Apparently, the focus is on non-formal, popular education, which often involves training in literacy to empower the masses. In this context, those who teach are often referred to as "educators" or "tutors."
Peer comment(s):

agree Bonita Mc Donald : Yes, I like educators, especially as in the original provided they would go on to "educate boys and girls". I don't think trainer/train or instructor/instruct would fit as well in the context provided.

Thanks, Bonita. You're right. In this particular context, trainers/instructors doesn't fit as well. Thanks, again. :-)
