analysis: The text appears to be discussing the role of women in rural development and their participation in agricultural production in various African countries. It references studies and reports on the topic, highlighting the need for a change in customs and attitudes to achieve this goal. The text does not mention economic indicators, natural resources, or environmental concerns, which suggests that it is not focused on these areas.
