Technical Brief "Women's Land Rights Matter!"

This Brief provides EU staff with an overview of the main challenges and opportunities surrounding the promotion of women’s land rights. It also summarises the EU’s engagement in advocating a more gender-responsive approach, both in political and policy dialogue and in the design, implementation and monitoring of specific land governance projects as well as Food and Nutrition Security and Sustainable Agriculture (FNS&SA) projects with a land component. It complements the guidance note Because women matter: Designing interventions in food, nutrition and agriculture that allow women to change their lives1, published by DEVCO Unit C1: Rural Development, Food Security, Nutrition, in September 2017.
