Stepping up IFAD's Gender-transformative Agenda - Women's Land Rights Initiative - IFAD
The overall goal of the programme is to promote and strengthen women's land rights through the integration of GTAs in rural development interventions by improving policies and implementation tools and practices in targeted countries.
The objectives are to:
(i) To enhance the recognition and protection of WLR in targeted countries.
(ii) To contribute to the creation of conditions that would enable women's enjoyment of land rights over time.
The target group will be composed of 7,000 women and girls living in rural areas in the selected countries who are involved in IFAD-supported projects. About 40 per cent of them will be younger than 35 years old. Policymakers and development practitioners will benefit indirectly from the outcomes of identifying and testing tools that will be widely disseminated.
