The Gender and Land Rights database (GLRD) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, And Markets (PIM) led by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) is launching [today] a new infographic to show the correct use of different land-related statistics disaggregated by sex available in the GLRD.
“Making sense of Land, Statistics and Gender” explores the correct use of land ownership statistics (ownership understood in a broad sense beyond individual property rights) and highlights how gender can influence land rights, taking into consideration the example of a Malawian family.
The infographic invites viewers to travel to a rural community in Sub-Saharan Africa to meet Tafadzwa, Wema and Chimango who tell us about their landownership. Despite our hosts being part of the same extended family and contribute to the family farm, the data collected about them differ greatly as a result of their relationships to each other and to agricultural land.

IWMI ( international Watre Mangement Institute) Key Facts on Gender and infographics and success stories
# When African women obtain the same farm inputs as male farmers, they increase their yields for maize, beans and cowpeas by over 20%
# Only around 1/3 of researchers in the world today are women.
# In sub-Saharan Africa women grow up to 90% of all food.
LANDESA measures the benefits that stronger land rights can have for small farmers, their families, and communities. Click on an infographic to explore an issue area in more detail. (Landesa)
