Because government policy makers do not view women as productive workers, women are left out of sectoral economic planning. Donor agencies could help bring women into the focus of the planning process and the economy by commissioning studies of women's work by sectors and by supporting sector-based pilot projects that involve women. In India this has been done successfully in at least two fields: dairying and silk production. Non- governmental agencies have effectively influenced government policy. (DÜI-Sen)
