Más información sobre el libro

In August 1984 national planners and representatives of employers' and workers' organisations, grass-roots organisations, international organisations and donor agencies from all over Africa and Asia met in Arusha, United Republic of Tanzania, in order to reflect on some of the current major issues of rural development. Recognising that women are the backbone of agricultural production as well as major providers of their families' basic needs, the participants concentrated on strategies likely to enhance women's productive roles and thereby stimulate rural and national development.
