**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing economic development, specifically the investment rates and capital formation in developing countries. The text mentions the target for investment effort during the 1980s, the decline in investment rates due to various factors, and the impact on developing countries, particularly those in Latin America. The text does not mention natural resources, environment, agriculture, forestry, fishing, industry, transport, communication, health, education, employment, humanitarian aid, or culture, which suggests that the most fitting category is likely economic development.
