Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

The indicator "measures" the extent to which a country's legal framework supports land rights through testing that framework through six indicators of international law and internationally accepted good practices, notably the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) ratified by 189 countries. Score 1-6:  1=No evidence of guarantees of gender equality in land ownership and/or control in the legal framework; 6=Highest levels of guarantees of gender equality in land ownership and/or control in the legal framework

Indicator 5.a.2 measures the extent to which countries’ legal framework (including customary law) guarantees women’s equal rights to land ownership and/or control.

FAO is responsible for compilation and reporting on this indicator at the global level. After checking and validating the results, the responsible national entity submits the questionnaire to FAO. Upon receipt of the questionnaire, FAO will undertake a quality check, and revert to the responsible national institution in case clarifications or revisions are needed. FAO will then compute the indicator based on the information supplied by countries and communicate the results to the UN SDGs Secretariat.
