Descripción
This report summarizes the lessons and findings from six country reports based on research activities on gender opportunities and constraints in land-related agricultural investments conducted between 2011 and 2014 in six countries (Ghana, Laos, Philippines, Sierra Leone, United Republic of Tanzania and Zambia). The cases represent a variety of business models and types of agricultural production, and aim to compare established investments with newer investments set up during the wave of land-related investment over the last 10 years. The cases address issues related to gender-differentiated implications with respect to access to, and use and control of land, employment and income-generating opportunities. In each case, the policy and regulatory environment is explored as context for the investment, and an overall analysis of gender and the policy environment is presented. One of the research objectives is to identify good practices and lessons learned to contribute to policy development and investment structuring. The findings are presented and address gender dimensions of tenure rights, participation in collaborative business models and wage employment.
