**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the role of women in development, specifically in the context of United Nations activities. The paper presented at the Consultative Committee meeting focuses on incorporating women's needs and concerns into development policies and plans. The text also mentions the Institute's activities in information, documentation, and communication, which seems to be related to disseminating information on women's issues. This suggests that the text is more focused on social and human development rather than purely economic or technical topics.
