Impact Assessment of Land Rights Certificates on Women's Agricultural Productivity in Nairobi Slums,

This study examines the impact of land rights certificates on women's agricultural productivity in Nairobi slums, focusing on gender-specific legal and policy interventions. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews was employed to gather data from 300 female farmers in Nairobi slums, including a comparison group without certificates. Women with land rights certificates reported an average yield increase of 15% compared to those without certificates, indicating the need for legal reforms to empower women in agricultural practices. The study concludes that providing land rights certificates significantly enhances female farmers' productivity and economic outcomes. Recommendations include strengthening enforcement mechanisms and increasing awareness campaigns. Policy recommendations include legislative changes to ensure equal access to land, and public education programmes targeting both men and women about the benefits of gender-inclusive policies.
