Recognizing the national titling agenda and the importance of strengthening land rights to promote long-term agricultural investments, the National Cooperative Business Association CLUSA (NCBA CLUSA) incorporated a gender-targeted land-use title component into their Promotion of Climate Smart Agriculture (PROMAC) II Program. The program used the Cadasta Foundation’s spatial data collection system to demarcate and process land-use titles. NCBA CLUSA also developed a long-term investment bundle to assist household investment in their newly secure land, providing fruit trees and other inputs to program households.
The World Bank Africa Gender Innovation Lab is conducting a rigorous impact evaluation of the titling and long-term investment bundle components implemented under PROMAC II to measure their respective impacts on land tenure security, women’s economic empowerment, agricultural productivity, and food security. This study will inform the design of future land regularization efforts and examine whether additional constraints are limiting household investments.
These data represent the second round of data collection (midline) for the impact evaluation. The sample comprises 988 smallholder farmers in Molumbo district in Zambézia Province.
