Background

1. Background

UN Women is the United Nations Entity that works on gender equality and the empowerment of women. To achieve this, the organization deploys its action on the triple normative, operational and coordination levels. Its Women’s Economic Empowerment Program is based on the principle that investing in women offers them the opportunity to fully realize all their basic rights and eradicate poverty which are determinants of economic and social development. It promotes women’s access to economic assets such as land and loans, as well as their participation in the development of economic and social policies. Recurring studies show the difficult access of women and young people to land ownership, which constitutes one of the fundamentals in investment in rural areas. The Strategic Note 2022-2025[1] highlights this issue, which is at the heart of women’s empowerment.

 

As part of the implementation of the project: “Promotion of Gender and Acceleration of Economic Empowerment of Women along the BATCHENGA-NTUI-YOKO-Lena road project”, the objective of which was to contribute to the reduction of poverty in the road construction area by ensuring that the dividends generated by the latter are equitably distributed between men and women, UN Women has supported initiatives to apply for land titles for the benefit of women and their organizations during the period 2017-2018.

the Youth Agro-pastoral Entrepreneurship Promotion Program (PEA-Jeunes) which aims to support the development of profitable businesses managed by young men and women, integrated into the value chains of promising agro-pastoral sectors, and offering viable employment opportunities in rural areas, has also supported land registration initiatives for the benefit of young people (especially young women) in its areas of intervention.

As part of the implementation of the “DONOR Agreement which binds UN Women to the PEA-Youth project, it was agreed to draw up a capitalization document on these two initiatives with the aim of tracing and arguing these two experiences in with a view to sharing them with the various development actors.

Duties and Responsibilities

2. Mandate of the mission

The objective of this mission is to capitalize on these different experiences of promoting women’s access to land, in particular drawing lessons learned and sharing the experience acquired with other development actors.

More specifically, this will involve:

Analyzing the successes and failures of the operation based on field data;
Analyze legal, regulatory and contextual constraints;
Identify the socio-cultural and social constraints of the activity;
Highlight lessons learned;
Mark out the avenues for a better understanding of the issue of access to land ownership for these categories;
Produce an audio-visual documentary on the partnership experience between UN Women and the AEP-Youth program bringing together all the activities carried out.
This requires the development of a capitalization document on the experience of supporting land registration initiatives for the benefit of women and young people. As well as the production of an audio-visual documentary on the experience of the partnership between UN Women and the PEA-Youth.
