Closing the gender land gap: The effects of land-titling for women in Peru

0

nibr.no -

Land formalization reforms in developing countries are often criticized for cementing historically unequal property rights between the sexes. The Peruvian formalization law is gender neutral and was only supposed to formalize existing informal property rights. However, protests from the feminist movement led the implementing agency to favor joint ownership between spouses. This report explores Peruvian land formalization law, arguing that it is gender neutral. The paper examines land ownership more...

Assessing UNCDF

0

uncdf.org -

“Over the past six years we have had our work in microfinance and local development assessed by a range of independent bodies. We have done so to ensure that our own interventions remain relevant, and that they are suitable for upscaling and replication by partners. This latter point is particularly important: UNCDF goes into challenging environments – including many post-conflict countries – to “pave the way for others”. We must know we are operating effectively if we expect our programmes to more...

0

fao.org -

33 countries currently face a food security crisis, 14 of which have been in this situation for more than a decade. When emergencies continue for such extended periods of time, traditional humanitarian and development paradigms are not suitable for guiding effective responses. Rather than engaging in ad hoc relief programmes, interventions should follow longer term strategies and build on local institutions.

0

cleanairinitiative.org -

Year 2009 can be considered very significant as climate change concerns in transport became the primary driver of the Sustainable Transport agenda.

The "other" important benefits seems to have taken the backseat more...
