Example Box 4. Gender is Central to the Honduras Land Administration Program The second phase of the Honduras Land Administration Program APL, PATH includes Gender Strategy, building on a Social Assessment and a Gender Audit. The Gender Strategy includes a plan to promote Miskito women’s participation in the process of recognition of their communities’ collective land rights. The strategy was prepared with support from the Gender Action Plan (GAP)-financed initiative, Improving Land Tenure for Women in Honduras which aimed to improve women’s access to land in Honduras by: (i) promoting greater attention to gender issues throughout Program activities, (ii) developing a tool to facilitate and promote joint land titling, and (iii) providing capacity building for PATH staff and for government agencies, local governments, women’s organizations and NGOs working on land administration issues. Accordingly, 13 workshops were conducted across Honduras. Gender is also reflected in Phase II’s Results Matrix: (a) total number of female beneficiaries; (b) At least 50,000 families in rural and urban areas complete process to obtain new land titles through the Project (of which at least 30% are women); (c) at least 70% of women rate modernized registry services as "satisfactory"; (d) 80 Miskito community leaders trained on alternative conflict resolution mechanisms (of which at least 20 are women); and (e) 80 community leaders trained on territorial planning and natural resource management (of which at least 20 are women). Finally, Phase II will include at least one impact study to measure the gender-equity impact of the program’s procedures. 6
