Groundbreakers: Women overcome bias and lead sustainable use of land and resources

The USAID Integrated Land and Resource Governance (ILRG) program works to promote gender equality and women’s economic empowerment by improving land tenure and other measures of development.  

The program has impacted the lives of over 143,000 women who have benefited from documented land rights, participation in land and natural resource governance, and access to related benefits such as credit, agricultural extension, and livelihoods opportunities.
