Abstract

This study examines the impact of land rights certification on gender dynamics within Ghanaian agricultural communities in Egypt, focusing on how such certification affects women's participation and outcomes in farming. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative interviews with quantitative data analysis to explore perceptions and practices regarding land rights among farmers in the region. Women reported a significant increase (from 30% to 50%) in their decision-making power over agricultural resources after certification, indicating enhanced empowerment within households. Findings suggest that land rights certification can lead to improved gender equity by empowering women through greater control over agricultural assets and decisions. Policy recommendations include expanding certification programmes to cover all relevant communities and sectors, as well as implementing training sessions on gender-sensitive resource management.
