Download or read book Landownership and the gender gap in agriculture Disappointing insights from Northern Ghana written by Yokying, Phanwin and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2019-06-13 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land provides the basis for food production and is an indispensable input for economic livelihoods in rural areas. Landownership is strongly associated with social and economic power, not only across communities and households, but also within households. The link between landownership and women’s empowerment has been relatively well documented in general, but not specifically in relation to agriculture. This paper aims to fill this gap by analyzing how ownership of land is associated with agency and achievements in agriculture among female and male farmers in northern Ghana, a region transitioning from customary land tenure without individual ownership rights towards a more individualized and market-based tenure system. We use a recursive bivariate probit model and focus on eight different indicators in four distinct domains: decisions on agricultural cultivation, decisions on farm income, agricultural association membership, and time allocation. Our empirical estimates indicate that landownership is positively correlated with men’s and women’s agency in agriculture, namely in decisions on agricultural cultivation and membership in agricultural association. Yet, we also find that the gender gaps in participation in cultivation decisions, the use of agricultural earnings, and in agricultural workload continue to persist among those who own land. While the results underscore the importance of land as a resource that can enhance women’s agency, they also point out that policies aiming to solely advance land rights may not be sufficient to eradicate or even reduce gender inequality in agriculture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, policymakers and development practitioners have debated benefits and threats of property rights formalization and private versus customary tenure systems. This paper provides insights into the challenges in understanding and empirically analyzing the relationship between tenure systems and agricultural investment, and formulates policy advice that can support land tenure interventions. We focus on Ghana, based on extensive qualitative fieldwork and a review of empirical research and policy documents. Comparing research findings is challenging due to the use of different indicators, the varying contexts, and the diversity of investments. The interaction between land rights and investment make establishing causality extremely difficult. Setting policy priorities and strategies requires more and better insights into the diverse responses of different stakeholders and the tenure and cropping systems involved.

This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various African governments have adopted various policies with the conviction that land tenure can be a mechanism through which the goals of ensuring equity growth and development.Common state land tenure strategies include land title registration programmes which are often not only in tune with local peoples culture and saddled with various implementation problems but also makes its process inaccessible to the poor and vulnerable groups. However, making land tenure a tool for achieving the above development requirements needs the appreciation of the complexity of the African tenure systems which require equal complex tenure solutions that can be tailored to respond to the cultural and economic demands at multiple levels. This has led to Ghana's adoption and implementation of Land Administration Program (LAP). With the use of multiple case studies, this book provides contextual lenses for one to critically assess the suitability of Ghana s LAP among two other land tenure options for disadvantaged groups in northern Ghana especially. It would be especially of immense value to students and professionals in land administration and poverty reduction.

This book was released on 2016-07-29 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tenure security is believed to be critical in spurring agricultural investment and productivity. Yet what improves or impedes tenure security is still poorly understood. Using household- and plot-level data from Ghana, this study analyzes the main factors associated with farmers’ perceived tenure security. Individually, farmers perceive greater tenure security on plots acquired via purchase or inheritance than on land allocated by traditional authorities. Collectively, however, perceived tenure security lessens in communities with more active land markets and economic vibrancy. Migrant households and women in polygamous households feel less secure about their tenure, while farmers with political connections are more confident about their tenure security.
