Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetWhat is the Legislation Assessment Tool for gender-equitable land tenure (LAT)? 2014The positive implications of gender-equitable land tenure for poverty reduction, food security and rural development have been described extensively in numerous studies and have been the focus of attention of several international conventions and agreements.1 The recent endorsement of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the context of national food security (VGGT) introduced the first comprehensive, global instrument on governance of tenure and can be expected to create momentum for gender equity in land tenure.2 Requests from governments for support in the implementation of the VGGT are likely to scale up in the coming years. Effective guidance tools and mechanisms should be developed to ensure that the interests and the needs of all people – women and men – are addressed, and that the principle of gender equality is mainstreamed in the governance of land tenure.
