Social Differentiation In Collective Tenure Regimes: Women Rights And Forest Tenure Reforms

Iliana Monterroso

This article analyses how gender and social inclusion have been addressed in the drafting of different
types of reforms in Indonesia, Uganda and Peru. Reform types include social forestry schemes in Indonesia, community based and collaborative management in Uganda and indigenous titling in Peru. Results focus on two aspects. First, we analyzed to which extent the design of laws and policies behind reform processes have incorporated gender considerations in the drafting of implementation
provisions. Second we analyzed the local regulations including existing customary arrangements
around reform processes to assess how these affect women and men in terms of access and control of resources. Research is based on extensive research on forest tenure reforms. Information was collected for 55 sites across five different tenure regime types. At the community level, key information interviews (133) and focus group discussions (162) provided information of the origins
and nature of reform outcomes. Results evidence sex-differentiated outcomes of reform processes across these three countries.
