• Promote gender and social inclusion in land documentation and registration;
• Enable gender and social norms change;
• Promote inclusive land use planning;
• Integrate women, and their unique needs and concerns, into agricultural supply chains;
• Raise awareness and advocate for equitable land and resource governance;
• Empower women through agency-based trainings; and
• Gather and disseminate evidence, best practices, and lessons learned.
