Property rights can transform individuals' incentives and facilitate economic prosperity, especially in agriculture. For women, these opportunities are invaluable, but often constraints from overlapping legitimizing systems prevent women from realizing the same property rights as their male counterparts. Many governments have implemented land reforms to counteract this issue, yet other invisible infrastructures exert influence over the practice of women's rights, preventing progress. If there is an external change in statutory rights for women, can change subsequently occur in their realized rights, impacting their economic opportunities? To examine this question, I analyze women's land rights in the context of Uganda's National Land Policy (NLP), a set of comprehensive land reforms reinforcing gender equality in statutory property rights, and its accompanying Implementation Action Plan, which initiates programs to enforce the policy, including gender sensitivity programs. If the programs were enacted and legal gender equality was enforced, I would expect women gained additional realized property rights. Using data from the World Bank's Living Standards Measurement Survey in Uganda, I explore this relationship with two different identification strategies. The difference-in-difference model discovers if the treatment had an effect on women's ownership, control, and decision-making rights over agricultural land holdings, while a modified difference-in-difference model examines how these rights changed as the time from policy implementation increased. The results show the treatment had no impact on women's land rights, and increased exposure to treatment had no effect on outcomes as well. Therefore, these findings imply the policy implementation did not make progress towards gender equality in land rights, or the timeline is not long enough to capture the impact from these programs.

"Mixed evidence on the impact of formal title in much of Africa is often used to question the relevance of dealing with land policy issues in this continent. The authors use data from Uganda to assess the impact of a disaggregated set of rights on investment, productivity, and land values, and to test the hypothesis that individuals' lack of knowledge of the new law reduces their tenure security. Results point toward strong and positive effects of greater tenure security and transferability. Use of exogenous knowledge of its provisions as a proxy for the value of the land law suggests that this piece of legislation had major economic benefits that remain to be fully realized.

Are women's fragile land rights in Africa being eroded in a period of privatisation and land reforms sponsored by the World Bank? Changing global employment and trade patters and the HIV/AIDS epidemic has affected women in particular. A complexity is that women's and men's interests within households are both joint and separate, yet many land reform programmes are based on the notion of a unitary household in which resources benefit the whole family. Today new land market opportunities also tend to put women at a disadvantage, just as they were under colonialism. Women's secondary rights to land are being extinguished. The detailed, local level research in this volume not only challenges the status quo, but demonstrates that another world is possible and documents the many ways women in Eastern Africa are finding to ensure their rights to land.

This book explores the gendered dimensions of recent land governance transformations across the globe in the wake of unprecedented pressures on land and natural resources. These complex contemporary forces are reconfiguring livelihoods and impacting women’s positions, their tenure security and well-being, and that of their families. Bringing together fourteen empirical community case studies from around the world, the book examines governance transformations of land and land-based resources resulting from four major processes of tenure change: commercial land based investments, the formalization of customary tenure, the privatization of communal lands, and post-conflict resettlement and redistribution reforms. Each contribution carefully analyses the gendered dimensions of these transformations, exploring both the gender impact of the land tenure reforms and the social and political economy within which these reforms materialize. The cases provide important insights for decision makers to better promote and design an effective gender lens into land tenure reforms and natural resource management policies. This book will be of great interest to researchers engaging with land and natural resource management issues from a wide variety of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, development studies, and political science, as well as policy makers, practitioners, and activists concerned with environment, development, and social equity.

This book explores how rural gender relations are changing in a globalizing world that fundamentally impacts on the structure of agricultural life in rural areas and urban-rural relations. It analyses the development of rural gender relations in specific places around the world and looks into the effects of the increasing connectivity and mobility of people across places. The themes covered are: gender and mobility, gender and agriculture, Gender and rural politics, rurality and Gender identity and women and international development. Each theme has an overview of the state of the art in that specific thematic area and integrates the case-studies that follow.
