ADDRESSING WOMEN’S LAND RIGHTS USING THE SDGS FRAMEWORK: EXPERIENCE FROM TANZANIA
Godfrey Massay
Landesa Tanzania
In 2015, the global community adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (popularly known as the 2030 Agenda), a set of 17 global goals with 169 targets, to replace the Millennium Development Goals. In the same year, the African Union adopted Agenda 2063 as the continent’s new long-term vision for the next 50 years. Both these international guides require States to commit to the protection of women’s land rights and tenure security. This paper provides evidence of the progress made by the United Republic of Tanzania (Tanzania) to localize both 2030 and 2063 Agendas in its Five Year Development Plan 2016/17-2020/21. It further highlights some parallel efforts of non-state actors that complement the work of the government, with particular focus on the work of Landesa, a global non-profit addressing tenure security in developing countries. The paper calls for a more concerted efforts through a multi-stakeholder approach for effective implementation and monitoring of women’s land rights SDGs indicators.
