SEWOH Lab Concept Note: Women’s Tenure Security and Digitalisation

TMG Research’s SEWOH Lab is one of some 300 projects tasked with the realization of the goals of the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development's SEWOH project. The SEWOH Lab was designed to identify, analyse, and strengthen new entry points in the field of digitalisation for achieving the Agenda 2030, with a focus on SDG 2, and particularly the “leave no-one behind” principle. The SEWOH Lab pursues this research agenda through a comparative research approach. It has therefore deliberately chosen three work streams, Urban Nutrition Hub, Soil Organic Carbon and Gender and Land Rights, each of which are characterised by different degrees of digitalisation. The Gender and Land Rights workstream focuses on how digital tools, such as participatory tenure mapping tools and user-oriented databases, can be used to support women’s land rights. This Content Note details the approach, research agenda and work packages that make up TMG's Gender and Land Rights workstream.
