| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to
understand the legal and policy constraints and
opportunities in each of the 17-carbon fund (CF) countries
affecting women’s land and forest tenure. The study also
explores women’s ability to exercise land and forest rights
in statutory and customary systems; how these rights may be
affected by the CF programs (ERPs and BSPs); as well as what
is needed to further protect and strengthen women’s rights
to land and forest tenure along with their ability to govern
in the CF countries. This synthesis report provides a
big-picture overview of the findings from all the studies;
additional and more detailed information related to the
activities in each country is available in the 10 country
scans and seven deep-dive country reports. Because this
report is a synthesis of findings from 17 countries, all
statements taken from other sources are cited in the country
studies. Furthermore, a bibliography of sources can be found
at the end of this synthesis report. |
