Within this report, the FAO outlines its efforts to reinforce local institutions and promote policies and legislation that aim for fairer access for both women and men to natural resources (particularly land, water, fishing and forestry) and to the relevant economic and social resources.


It goes on to approach the reasons why land tenure should be taken into account in project design, highlighting ecological issues, questions of gender, conflict and migrations, and the relationships between them.


The report acknowledges that FAO has gradually begun to make passing references in its normative work on land to international human rights provisions, with the FAO’s work on land and gender being pioneering in this respect.
