97 p., The purpose of this report is to set the stage for a re-examination of investment priorities and strategies in rural telecommunications by synthesizing what we know about the role of telecommunications in the development process. The report provides an overview of the evidence to date of the economic and social benefits of rural telecommunications. The report reviews key studies and identifies theory and research findings that are particularly relevant to rural regions of developing countries. It also includes research conducted in industrialized countries that appears particularly relevant for rural regions of the developing world.

AGE 85925422, Data from 358 households in 12 sites representative of climatic, geographical, and agricultural variations in the eastern communal areas of Botswana show that differences in the agricultural practices and extension contact of male- and female-headed households largely disappear when economic stratum is controlled. Female-headed households are shown not to be a homogeneous group. There appear to be greater similarities between farmers within the same economic stratum regardless of gender than between farmers of the same gender in different strata.
