A Fundação Land Portal, em parceria com a Transparência Internacional, organizou o webinário intitulado “Rompendo novas fronteiras: Percepções e Histórias sobre o Impacto da Corrupção de Terras em Grupos Discriminados na África”. O webinário reuniu um painel de especialistas ilustres para analisar os desafios e as complexidades da corrupção entrelaçada com a discriminação nos direitos à terra e na governança. Essa sessão forneceu percepções cruciais por meio de estudos de caso detalhados e análises de especialistas, oferecendo caminhos para práticas mais equitativas de gestão de terras.

Apresentamos uma seleção e revisão de leituras que esclarecem o papel que os dados fundiários abertos podem desempenhar no desenvolvimento equitativo e sustentável e na justiça social.

There is an underlying tension in the land rights movement that is rarely addressed head on, which is the perception that securing women’s land rights threatens community land rights. Community land rights are typically held by indigenous people, small-scale and subsistence farmers, pastoralists, herders and many other groups who are directly dependent on land for their livelihoods but whose land tenure is often the most precarious.

The main objective of the LAND-at-scale program is to directly strengthen essential land governance components for men, women and youth that have the potential to contribute to structural, just, sustainable and inclusive change at scale. An ambitious objective, that cannot be achieved in isolation. Alignment is, therefore, a key factor in all LAND-at-scale activities - be it at project level for our country interventions or through our collaborative approach to knowledge management.

Advancing women’s land rights is a priority for the international development agenda. Yet, there is no consensus on which rights should be monitored and reported. Three indicators of women’s property rights are widely used in the literature. Each captures a different aspect of women’s land rights, but a recent paper explores the extent to which these different rights are held by the same person, using data from six African countries.
