The country profiles analyse the extent to which national legal frameworks and policies and programmes support the advancement of women or induce gender-differentiated access to land in 83 countries.
Regularly-updated country profiles
The GLRD's 84+ country profiles aim to offer quickly-accessible information about a country's political, social, legal and economic status in the country's official language.
What will you find?
Each country profile contains a "key facts" section and various menus and sub-menus that lead to detailed information for informing policies, reforms and legal frameworks and support research projects, in-depth reports and studies on a wide range of topics.
The quantity of information may vary from one profile to another, but in most cases, the data is broken down into these five main categories:
• Country information - Population data, Economic figures, Undernourishment, Literacy rate, Life expectancy, Share of women engaged in agricultural labour, and Land Tenure System
• The national legal framework - Rights entrenched in the Constitution, Women’s tenure rights in personal laws and labour laws, Inheritance, Land legislation, Policy measures and legal mechanisms promoting or preventing the realization of gender-equitable land tenure
• The status of ratification of international treaties and conventions
• Customary law and practices
• Civil Society Organisations supporting gender-equitable land tenure
