Mending the gap between law and practice: Organizational approaches for women’s property rights

Following a global scan of grassroots programmes that are mending the gap between law and practice, this study documents efforts by nongovernmental organizations and international non governmental organizations that are working on women’s property rights, and explores approaches that are addressing the gap between law and practice, organisationsal structures and entry points to women’s property rights and key lessons for sustaining and scaling up efforts. While most efforts remain fragmented with little exchange of experience, the study suggests promising strategies for strengthening women’s property rights and forming a more integrated. Effective response. These strategies include strengthening network models and approaches, facilitating cross country learning, investing in programme documentation and monitoring and evaluation and conducting more research to improve our understanding of global processes.
