| Summary/Abstract |
The article examines Ngie women's socio-economic conditions and discusses the factors that brought about these unfavorable conditions. These unfavorable conditions are due to physical, cultural and human factors. Some recommendations are suggested. The results of this article represent a synthesis of interview data gathered from rural women farmers in Ngie villages through survey, group meetings of other villages, farm visits and participant observation. The conclusion is that the women must depend on the evolution of a productive system in which environmental management, social institutions, good administration, good income-generating activities and good agricultural practices are closely linked.
