A SOCIO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE RURAL AREA IN THE WESTERN REGION

The analysis presented in this paper points out the fact that we need to make fundamental improvements in the Western Region if we want to be able to face the future challenges generated by new investments with a view to increase economic activities, to improve institutional activities, and to make short-term specific investments in both human resources and infrastructure. The authors of this paper have reached the conclusion that the Western Region needs investments in the business environment in both developed areas and underdeveloped areas or unfavoured areas.
