Synopsis (short abstract) An impact evaluation of Nicaragua’s Land Administration Programme (PRODEP) finds that the programme ensured gender equality in the access to land titles, with women landholders more likely to obtain titles than men landholders. The programme also significantly increased beneficiaries’ perception of high tenure security, and title-holders were more likely to report that their land had increased its value. However, the lack of impacts in other household-level investments provides policy insights on the need of complementarity support measures for landowners.

    Like land tenure insecurity, gender is a cross-cutting theme of key importance to the work of FAO. In this way, the gender of land users is highly relevant in relation to the impacts of climate change and disasters, and the depletion of forests and fisheries.

    The foremost challenge of Latin America’s land regularization efforts has been sustainability. Substantial investments in the 70s and 80s had limited impact as land registries became outdated shortly after implementation (Borrero 1999; Jaramillo 1998; Barnes, Stanfield, and Barthel 2000; Barnes 2002, 2003). This paper examines the role of information systems and the way that systems help shape and are affected by institutions. The focus is on five countries where the World Bank supports land administration projects: El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Panama. The experience in these countries is complemented with available information on international experience, to draw lessons and derive recommendations to improve the effectiveness of information systems in expanding the sustainability and rural outreach of land administration interventions.

    Preparing the CFS Voluntary Guidelines on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment in the Context of Food Security and Nutrition - GCP/GLO/493/MUL 2024

    Despite years of progress and global commitments, gender disparities and discrimination in food security persist around the world, particularly affecting women and girls in vulnerable situations. To address these issues, the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) included the development of a set of Voluntary Guidelines on Gender Equality and Women’s and Girls’ Empowerment in the context of Food Security and Nutrition in its 2020–2023 Multi-Year Programme of Work (MYPoW). The Guidelines, which were prepared under this project, aimed to (i) support CFS Member States, development partners and other stakeholders to advance the rights of women and girls, as well as gender equality and women’s and girls’ empowerment (GEWGE) in their efforts to eradicate hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition; and (ii) to provide guidance to countries as they work to contribute to the achievement of CFS’s vision and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2 (Zero Hunger) and 5 (Gender Equality).
