lessening the burden of peasant women's’ workloads and
treating them as active and equal partners (without the

development process. One positive way forward would be to
think of the subsistence sector as a potential resource base
for income-generating projects for women, since this is a
sector where they have developed their own skills and
knowledge. If projects take place in this sector in such a
manner where women themselves take the responsibility for
resource allocation, setting of work schedules and labour
activity then such projects could act as a means of lessening
the burden of women's work. However, there is a danger that
women-focussed projects will not be treated as central or
