Abstract
Within Côte d'Ivoire, 80% of the population earns its living in agriculture, and 90% of the country's exports originate in this sector. Traditionally, land has been cultivated on lots allotted to families from communal land, yet some forms of property and possession rights have been slowly developing. While 80% of the agricultural labour force is supplied by women, their command over land, by property right or in any other form, is extremely limited and subject to discrimination. This project will address the problem of women's access to land within the written and the traditional legal framework. Attention will be given to the degree and the forms by which women have so far acquired access to land. The project will further study the access of women to financial loans required to improve existing or buy new farm land, as well as the preexisting socioeconomic conditions limiting land acquisition by women.
