1999
Lahiff E.P.
This report provides an overview of land tenure and women's access to land on the Arabie-Olifants irrigation scheme, situated in South Africa's Northern Province. It is based on field work and a documentary study carried out in March-May 1999 on behalf of IIMI, as part of its "Water for People" program in South Africa. It forms part of the small-scale irrigation component of a wider research program in the Middleveld region of the Olifants river basin, with particular focus on the Arabie-Olifants irrigation scheme. The study aims to provide a clear analysis of the conditions governing both access to land and land tenure arrangements, on smallholder irrigation schemes in the Olifants river basin, with particular reference to the position of women and presents recommendations for the reform of land administration practices in the area, with a view to improving access to land and for historically disadvantaged social groups, promotng security of tenure, and encouraging more productive use of soil and water resources.
