Digitalization and Women’s Land Rights: A Strategy for Social and Economic Empowerment in Sudan
Approach
This paper aims to investigate best practices for safeguarding women’s land rights by digitizing land records for internally displaced women returning to their villages in the Darfur states of Sudan. It will explore the impact of digitization on improving their access to livelihoods, empowering them to participate in decision-making processes, and amplifying their voices in their communities. The paper will place particular emphasis on UNHABITAT projects in strengthening land rights for peaceful coexistence in Darfur, among others.
Questions and comments to the author/s
Dear Wala,
What an interesting presentation and project! Congratulations! I have a few reflections/questions to share. What is the access to technological devices and internet like in rural areas? How did you manage to implement the project given the challenges of digitalization?
On another note, how is the interaction regulated in the working groups? Are women truly heard? Do they feel these are safe and open spaces to participate? How can we create safe and open spaces to ensure successful project implementation?
Thank you very much, and congratulations!
