Gender-Equitable Governance of Land Tenure

LEI Contributes to FAO Development of Guidelines on Gender-Equitable Governance of Land Tenure. In May, Dr Kate Dalrymple participated in the FAO Workshop on Gender-Equitable Governance of Land Tenure at FAO Headquarters, Rome. This was part of a series of workshops that are contributing to the development of complimentary and practical Technical Guidelines for the broader Voluntary guidelines on responsible governance of tenure of land and other natural resources (VG), due out later in 2011. This successful workshop brought together a variety of technicians and professionals from around the globe working in different fields of land governance. Represented by Government agencies, NGOs, private sector, FAO and affiliated organisations, the group compiled through practical experience, innovative gender equitable solutions for tackling the issues of land governance.
