There is a significant gap in knowledge of how projects aimed at land tenure and property rights reform affect women’s rights to land. This study focused on a set of recent and existing land projects and how they dealt with gender. The results are based on a review of project literature, as well as interviews with project personnel and donor project managers. The outcomes are presented within the context of a “project cycle” of preparation/design, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. To the degree possible, they are also couched in how successful projects were at incorporating the socio-cultural context in which they occurred. The analysis presented here contains elements of successful projects that have strengthened women’s access to and control over land.
