Empowering Rural Women: A Guide to Land Rights in The Gambia

Export citation

The Guide contains four training modules, information for facilitators and training organizers, to be used as a tool for capacity building during training events. It targets a broad group of stakeholders, such as local authorities, government representatives, community members and elders, women’s groups, religious leaders, and other relevant actors involved in advancing women’s property and land rights. This Guide is not only for women’s empowerment and improved participation and representation in decisionmaking but also for the social and economic development of communities.
