    Reports & Research
    July, 2023
    Global

    Securing women’s rights, access to, and control over housing, land, and property (HLP) are important for livelihood generation, food security, a store of wealth, and other economic benefits. Ensuring women’s HLP rights also provides social benefits, such as improved bargaining power within the household and community. Data on women’s rights to HLP is limited, but available evidence from 53 countries shows that within those countries, over 70 percent of women do not own any land. Without action, women are at risk of being left farther behind.

    Sub-Saharan Africa, Tanzania

    After more than ten years of hectic debates on international ‘land grabs’, academic interest in collapsed land deals or projects with unexpected results is growing. According to the Land Matrix, Tanzania is one of the target countries for such deals, with a number ‘abandoned’ or delayed and projects whose status is unknown. Labelling land deals as ‘failed’ poses conceptual and methodological challenges as long as the criteria for ‘failure’ are undefined.

    Mali

    Au Mali, les femmes sont confrontées à un problème d’accès sécurisé à la terre. Pour le résoudre, il faut d’abord utiliser cet accès des femmes à la terre comme un indicateur de bonne gouvernance locale et un gage de l’atteinte des Objectifs de développement durable. En plus, il faut plaidoyer auprès des légitimités traditionnelles pour faciliter cet accès aux terres agricoles. Il faut aussi réduire les inégalités entre hommes et femmes, abaisser l’indice de pauvreté et assurer l’effectivité de la mise en œuvre des dispositions législatives et réglementaires et la consolidation des acquis.

    Sob o governo Bolsonaro, a Fundação Nacional do Índio (Funai) tem implementado uma política que cabe chamar de anti-indigenista. Contraditório, chocante, mas verdadeiro, esse é o tema do dossiê que se apresenta, fruto da parceria entre a Indigenistas Associados (INA), associação de servidores da Funai fundada em 2017, e o Instituto de Estudos Socioeconômicos (Inesc), organização não governamental atuante há 42 anos nos espaços de discussão de políticas públicas, direitos humanos e orçamento.
