Over the years, IGED-Africa has worked with women’s groups, civil society organizations, governments, development partners, academic institutions, local authorities, and regional and international actors committed to gender equality and women’s empowerment. From community-level engagement to advocacy before regional human rights mechanisms, IGED-Africa continues to link local experiences with broader policy and institutional change.
The Women’s Property and Inheritance Rights Programme is a flagship initiative of the Initiative for Gender Equality and Development in Africa (IGED-Africa) focused on promoting and protecting women’s rights to own, inherit, access, control, and benefit from land, housing, and other productive assets.
IGED-Africa recognizes that sustainable change requires collaboration across sectors and levels. The organization connects grassroots realities with national, regional, and international advocacy spaces, ensuring that the experiences of women, girls, and marginalized communities inform policy dialogue, legal reform, and institutional action.
IGED-Africa’s work is rooted in the belief that sustainable development cannot be achieved without addressing the systemic inequalities that limit the rights, opportunities, safety, participation, and economic security of women, girls, and marginalized groups.
The Initiative for Gender Equality and Development in Africa (IGED-Africa) is a pan-African nonprofit organization advancing gender equality, democratic governance, youth leadership, and inclusive development through research, advocacy, capacity building, and strategic partnerships.
