The protection of formal institutions
can help to strengthen women’s property rights, potentially
improving welfare and economic efficiency of the household
with broader implications. Individual land certification in
women’s names and civil marriage registration offer two
routes for women towards a more formal delineation of their
property rights. In the context of the World Bank Land
Policy Improvement and Implementation Project (PAMOFOR),
this pilot project examines what drives the take-up of
innovative interventions that aim to strengthen women’s
property rights in rural Cote d’Ivoire: providing economic
incentives for a man to register land in his wife’s name,
shifting attitudes through an emotionally resonant video,
and encouraging civil marriage in the wake of a new legal
reform. Pilot results show how highlighting the benefits of
women’s land ownership for family harmony, economic
efficiency, and security for the family can induce husbands
to reallocate land to their wives. |
