The Ghomarian woman plays fundamental role in her society: the ruling agricultural activity as well as the sociocultural life depends strictly on her, but this woman still suffers some discrimination. To clear up this situation, a study concerning about 249 peoples was realized through the adoption of a quantitative and qualitative sociological approach. According to the obtained results, the woman is relatively deprived of certain fundamental rights, especially those concerning the management of cannabis farms and the work out the family environment. Nevertheless, she plays a fundamental socio-cultural role from her first age, protects customs linked to the traditions and the local culture and constitutes an axis around of which revolve all the activities and the aspects of the development in the studied region. Therefore, it is necessary to give a major importance for the role of the woman before any aiming action to improve the conditions of the sustainable development in the zone.

This essay reopens the debate among African politicians and intellectuals concerning which paradigm is the most suitable for achieving the goals of development in Africa at this present moment of her history. Since the early 70s, African intellectuals and politicians have reflected on this problem and the highpoint of the debate was that only a synthesis of our traditional cultural elements with other relevant areas of foreign culture holds the prospects for achieving this goal. This essay however indicts this latest position as encouraging the hegemonisation of western cultural values as well as the marginalisation of those African states for which this paradigm is meant to serve as blueprint for development. The essay then identifies the need for the debate to transcend the basic assumptions underlying the major paradigms by proffering an approach that will not only guide against the continued marginalisation of African states, but that will at the same time ensure their effective participation in the development process currently going on across the globe.
