Land tenure and the nuanced gender debates in sub-Saharan Africa: realities and illusions.

Abstract

This chapter sets to analyse nuanced gender debates in sub-Saharan Africa, explore realities and illusions of land tenure between women and men in this region; and gendered-land outcomes in relation to land access, ownership, and control by gender. Land tenure relates to how access to land is granted, the rights to use, control, and transfer land, including the associated responsibilities and restraints.
