Women’s land tenure security project (WOLTS)
2018
Mokoro, Multi country
WOLTS is Mokoro’s practical, action-oriented strategic research project on Women’s Land Tenure Security.
For two years, WOLTS has been working with local partners People Centered Conservation (PCC) in Mongolia and HakiMadini in Tanzania, investigating threats to women’s land tenure security in pastoral areas affected by mining investments.
Employing a range of rigorous participatory fieldwork approaches, with multiple visits to validate and triangulate data, the WOLTS project aims to strengthen the evidence base and collaborate with local and national stakeholders to identify ways to secure land rights and support communities to withstand threats to their land and natural resources.
WOLTS’ broader aim is to develop a thoroughly tested methodology to build capacity and mainstream gender equality and women’s rights within community land management, land tenure governance and land rights protection, to secure the land rights of all vulnerable people.
WOLTS is led by Mokoro Principal Consultant, Dr. Elizabeth Daley, who is joined on the core team by Researchers Zoe Driscoll and Jim Grabham and Associate Consultant Kristina Lanz.
