The case studies were designed to both broaden and deepen our understanding of how land policies affect women and men, with an aim to applying this knowledge in very practical ways to World Ban-supported land projects. The case studies are essentially program evaluations focusing on how each project approached gender issues, what the gender-differentiated issues are in terms of project participation and benefits, and what lessons can be learned from these diverse experiences.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO RESOURCESAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTUREBARRIERS TO WOMENCENTRAL AMERICACIVIL CODESCIVIL LAWCOHABITATIONCOMMUNITIESCONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKCULTURAL NORMSCULTURESCUSTOMCUSTOMARY LAWDEPENDENCEDISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMENDOWRYEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEQUAL ACCESSEQUAL RIGHTEQUAL RIGHTSETHNIC GROUPSFAMILIESFAMILY LABORFAMILY LAWSFARMERSFARMSFEMALE STAFFFORMS OF DISCRIMINATIONGENDERGENDER AWARENESSGENDER AWARENESS TRAININGGENDER DIFFERENCESGENDER DISTRIBUTIONGENDER EQUALITYGENDER EQUITYGENDER FOCAL POINTGENDER INEQUALITYGENDER ISSUESGENDER PERSPECTIVEGENDER TRAININGHOUSEHOLD ECONOMYHOUSEHOLDSIDENTITYINTEGRATIONINTEGRATION OF GENDERLABOR MARKETLAND ADMINISTRATIONLAND MANAGEMENTLAND MARKETLAND OWNERSHIPLAND REFORMLAND REFORMSLAND TENURELAND TENURE RIGHTSLAND TITLELAND TITLINGLAND USELAND USE PLANNINGLATIN AMERICANLITERACYLIVELIHOODSMARRIAGESMARRIED COUPLESMARRIED WOMENMATRIARCHYMATRILINEAL DESCENTMIGRATIONNGOSNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSNORMSNUTRITIONPARTICIPATION OF WOMENPOWERPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCTIVITYPROPERTY OWNERSPROPERTY OWNERSHIPPROPERTY RIGHTPROPERTY RIGHTSRELIGIONREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHRIGHTS FOR WOMENRIGHTS OF WOMENRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL POPULATIONSOCIAL NETWORKSSOCIETIESSOCIETYUNIFEMUNITED NATIONSUNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT FUND FOR WOMENURBAN AREASVILLAGESWIDOWSWOMEN FARMERSWOMEN LAWYERSWorld Bank10.1596/8355
