The intervention was conceived by the Colonization and Land Institute of Maranhão (ITERMA) and will have the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) as the implementation agency.
The "Land for Women" project aims to promote land and environmental regularization in settlement areas and rural communities in Maranhão with a priority focus on women heads of household. Seeking to reduce social inequalities, expand territorial governance and promote sustainable agricultural practices, the intervention will combine land titling actions, training in sustainable practices and entrepreneurship, access to credit and environmental monitoring, with a view to guaranteeing land security, promoting access to public policies and strengthening economic autonomy.
The project is organized into three components/project outcomes, namely:

- Formalization of women's land in rural and traditional communities.
- Training in bioeconomy practices, sustainable management and female entrepreneurship.
- Technical capacity of the governments of Maranhão and Pará for land monitoring and environmental enforcement strengthened.
