Tenure system with gender perspective, food security, and mangrove ecosystem protection in Nagekeo and Ngada districts, East Nusa Tenggara

Governance of land access, control, and ownership is influenced by social relations, including gender relations. This implies that a gender and social inclusion (GESI) perspective is crucial in understanding land and natural resource rights and management. In Indonesia, gender and other social relations (e.g., ethnicity, socioeconomic class, social class, age, religion, marital status) operate within distinct but interconnected land and natural resource governance structures, ranging from the nuclear family, extended family/clan, community, market, and state. This Rapid Assessment seeks to understand how gender and other social dimensions shape land and natural resource governance and rights, and their relationship to food security and environmental protection in inland areas or mangrove conservation in coastal areas in Indonesia. This assessment focuses on land and natural resource governance in Other Use Areas (APL).
