Gender inequalities in land rights continues to be prevalent despite broad consensus
that strengthening women’s property rights is crucial for reducing poverty and
achieving equitable growth. The global development community has recognized the
importance of equitable and secure land and housing rights as a means to addressing
poverty, food security and other global challenges as is reflected in the adoption of
land rights related objectives in several global and regional frameworks. This paper
assesses the preparation, choices and strategies adopted by the Global Land Tool Network (GLTN) towards the implementation of SDGs and other global and regional
policy frameworks and reviews prospects of breakthrough. It is based on an on-going
gender and land strategy development project in the land sector for GLTN and
engagement with diverse land actors and collaborating partner organizations.
