  • How did the pilot interventions impact women’s access to land and land tenure security? Do they experience more tenure security and are they able to access agricultural inputs more easily? Are the dynamics within families (for instance related to decision-making processes) changed? How did the pilot interventions increase the voice, participation and empowerment of women beneficiaries
  • Has there been an impact on the number of land transactions and land market? Has the CCO impacted on land values?
