women
This report uses household-level data from 33, mostly developing, countries to analyse perceptions of tenure insecurity among women.

use and tenure security challenges at the country level. The information and processes presented

Local and indigenous communities across the world are advancing innovative sustainable development solutions that work for people and for nature. Few publications or case studies tell the full story of how such initiatives evolve, the breadth of their impacts, or how they change over time. Fewer still have undertaken to tell these stories with community practitioners themselves guiding the narrative. The Equator Initiative aims to fill that gap.
