Webinar Report: The Role of Land Certification in Securing Women's Land Rights on Collective Lands

Reports & Research

Indonesia

Evidence shows that women can benefit from having individualised land rights formalized in their names. However, similar evidence is not available for formalization of land rights that are based on collective tenure.
