    NGO, RCN Justice & Démocratie, with support from the International
    Development Law Organization (IDLO) and the Belgian Government. A
    more detailed and complete discussion of the pilot is given in Lankhorst
    and Veldman (2011a). The pilot aimed to transform the customary
    resolution of disputes involving women’s land claims concerning
    inheritance or marital relations. The intervention examined whether

    In Rwanda, for many years ago, rights over land for women and female orphans were not
    recognized. The main causes were the inexistence of efficient land administration systems and
    the prevalence of traditional system of land tenure which were complex and did not favor
    women and female descendants. In 2004, the Government of Rwanda had adopted a new land
    policy which was complemented by the 2005 Organic Land Law and a series of laws and
    regulations with regard to access to land, land management perspectives, and to the modalities

    To say that access to land is one of the most important conditions for the
    empowerment of African women, would be an understatement. The cultivation of land is one
    of the main sources of income and economic wealth depends strongly on a well-elaborated
    system of land tenure. However, developing and protecting land rights1
    for women in mainly
    male-dominated societies is a long-term work. Even though law initiatives2 may guarantee a
    de jure equal access to land for women, the outcome highly depends on the way the culturebound

    As Parliamentary gender quotas have become increasingly popular, so too
    has the debate surrounding their effectiveness in enhancing women’s
    representation and gender equality in governments around the world. Women offer
    unique and important perspectives to the political process, and thus their increased
    political representation and empowerment can advance the very process of
    development. In 2003, the Rwandan government Constitutionally enacted a gender

    Improving women’s access to land is high on the agricultural policy agenda of both governmental and non-governmental agencies. Yet, the determinants and rationale of gendered access to land are not well understood. This paper argues that gender relations are more than the outcomes of negotiations within households. It explains the importance of social norms, perceptions, and formal and informal rules shaping access to land for male and female farmers at four levels: (1) the household/family, (2) the community, (3) the state, and (4) the market. The framework is applied to Ghana.
