Nearly 80 percent of the total labour force is engaged in the agriculture sector, 3 percent in manufacturing industries and 17 percent in service sector. 2012-12-30T21:32:09Z 2022-11-08T10:18:53Z 2012-12-30T21:32:09Z 2022-11-08T10:18:53Z 2009 Technical Report http://103.69.126.140:8080/handle/123456789/715 en_US application/pdf GTZ/GFA Consulting Group GmbH
