Women's Land Ownership in Morocco

Abstract

The present research endeavor consists of a preliminary documentary investigation which paves the way towards a larger future study focusing on Moroccan women who have benefited from government initiatives like the “Centre D'inclusion des Femmes au Foncier” (CIFF) and the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) in empowering them, more specifically, through land ownership. Hence, this chapter provides background information in relation to women empowerment through land ownership and aims to highlight the achievements of the Moroccan government and CIFF in meeting predefined objectives. It's part of a broader vision to address legal, social, and customary barriers hindering women's access to land and to promote their active involvement in land governance.
