**Analysis**
The text discusses the integration of women in development, industrial development, and technical cooperation activities, which suggests a strong focus on economic development and industry. The Board also considers applications from intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, which implies a connection to international trade and cooperation. However, the text does not explicitly discuss natural resources, agriculture, forestry, fishing, transport, communication, health, education, employment, humanitarian aid, or culture.
