The Africa Region Technical Workshop brought together key stakeholders from Sub-Saharan Africa to discuss the expansion from pilot projects to nationwide land registration. The workshop featured parallel Anglophone and Francophone sessions, aiming to promote knowledge sharing, enhance South-South cooperation, and address common challenges in scaling up land rights registration. Government representatives delivered presentations on relevant topics such as appropriate technologies, institutional frameworks, and the sustainability of land administration reforms.

The session focused on enhancing women's rights in collective titling and resource management, highlighting successful models and best practices from various global contexts. The introductory remarks framed the discussion around the importance of expanding women's participation and rights in land and forest management, establishing a foundation for the subsequent presentations. Margaret Rugadya provided an overview of current practices and a conceptual framework, detailing specific indicators that measure women's inclusion in land and forest governance.
