The Customary Land Act of 2016 provides for the inclusion of women in Land
Committees. The Customary Land Committees are responsible for the management of
customary land as opposed to the previous arrangement where traditional leaders were
the managers. To ensure that there are women’s voices in the committees, Section 5(2)
(b) of the Act provides that membership is to be comprised of six persons, at least three
of whom shall be women. Similarly, membership of the customary land tribunals shall
have at least three female members out of the six. The assumption with this arrangement
is that if women are in the committees and tribunals, their interests will be taken on
board.
