- Description
- The authors of Women and Land in Africa link research and analysis with advocacy and action - the purpose being to contribute towards equalizing gender relations and promoting the ability of African women to achieve greater economic independence as well as other human rights. A number of countries were selected - from West Africa, East Africa and the Horn, Islamic and non-Islamic. The contributors highlight key land richts issues and make recommendations for each country. In a particular innovation, the volume examines the case of Ethiopia where there has been an explicit attempt not only to make the research findings available beyond the academic community, but to deploy this information in a rolling programme of advocacy.
