• The government has implemented a land titling program by the name of women and men. • Land titling contributes positively to reduce gender disparities in access to land and natural resources. • Women are highly aware of their land rights after land titling program. • Civil servants behavior and customary/patriarchic ideologies of the local people hinder the effective implementation of land titling program. • To empower women’s access to land and natural resources, customary/traditional land tenure systems should be changed by formal land laws.
