Resumen
Descripción
Land is the major source of income
for most African households, particularly those engaged in
agriculture. In the region, property rights over land are
largely governed by informal customary systems. These
systems, while deeply rooted in tradition, may not always
provide sufficient security of tenure and are often
influenced by patriarchal norms that disadvantage women.
This brief synthesizes evidence from impact evaluations
conducted by the Africa Gender Innovation Lab (GIL) in
Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Mozambique, Rwanda, and Uganda.
It offers insights on: (i) strategies to enhance women’s
property rights over land, and (ii) the effects of these
strengthened rights.
