Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) Land statistics disaggregated by sex are useful for showcasing the disparities in land rights between women and men. They also provide a sense of women’s economic empowerment in agriculture. Unfortunately, land statistics are not always used properly. We want to help you understand and interpret better the different land statistics available in FAO’s Gender and Land Rights Database (GLRD). We invite you to travel with us to a rural community in Sub-Saharan Africa and meet Tafadzwa, Wema and Chim ango who will tell us their story. Our hosts are part of the same extended family, they all contribute to the family farm and yet the data collected about them differ greatly as a result of their relationships to each other and to agricultural land. Their situation reflects well the situation in their country about gender differences in land rights.

    This guidance note was developed to support development and humanitarian practitioners in carrying out a gender-sensitive vulnerability assessment, in order to identify and address the main sources of vulnerability of men and women in the agriculture sector. The note describes what are the main constraints that male and female farmers face in the agriculture sector, with a focus on climate change. It also provides an overview of available sources and methodologies to collect and analyze sex-disaggregated data. The specific aspects of climate change and targeted outcomes for men and women can vary widely across diverse areas, so this note discusses data sources and empirical approaches that can be applied across different contexts.
