Descripción
Access to and control over land and resources are vital for women’s empowerment, serving not only as critical productive assets but also as determinants of social status and political power. However, rural women face numerous barriers in securing land rights, including restricted access to resources and services like finance, healthcare, education, market information, agricultural inputs, and technology. Gender transformative approaches (GTAs) aim to challenge and change the underlying social norms, power dynamics, and systemic barriers perpetuating inequality. This How To Do Note (HTDN) describes a process for developing GTAs that can help redress inequalities in women’s land and resource rights. It draws on lessons from an initiative in which GTAs were designed, tested, and adapted across six IFAD projects in countries where addressing gender dimensions was critical for project success. The HTDN aims to facilitate wider adoption and scaling of GTAs to strengthen women’s land and resource rights.
