Project ROA 293-9 "Strengthening national capacities to design and implement rights-based policies and programmes that address the care of dependent populations and women’s economic autonomy in urban development and planning"
Rwanda has implemented a land tenure regularization program since 2008 that enabled the adjudication and registration of land rights for both men and women. However, Rwandan women are vulnerable to land conflicts because some men do not recognize or respect women’s rights in land.
This paper examines the awareness and information access linkages that could be improved to enhance women access to appropriate conflict resolution mechanisms in rural Tanzania.
