> Telling people to have fewer children in an area where few children make it to adulthood ...

Are you arguing for more or fewer children?

Seems plainly obvious the birthrate is too high.

I'm saying you're going to be fighting against a strategy that has been used since the dawn of Homo Sapiens to counter high childhood mortality rates. It is an uphill battle, especially in a country without a stable government.

Fighting climate change is an uphill battle (steeper).
