The gender team at UNDP is looking for online volunteers to support in the review and generation of existing legal and policy evidence which can inform policy on women as defacto co-managers in family businesses. The online volunteers will: 1) Generate evidence to contribute to female co-management policy (framework) considerations of family businesses ranging from small-scale fisheries to small shops, farms and industries and draft legal recognitions. 2) Identify some of demonstratable impacts of co-management laws/regulations that have been implemented including the benefits, assistance, relief, and grants and social protection measures gained to target groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

  Gender inequalities are one of the major causes of poverty worldwide. Around 70 percent of the world’s poor are women, of which the majority are rural women from developing countries. Bosnia and Herzegovina are some of the countries where co-owners have pre-emption right over the property in case of disposal and are further allowed to encumber their own part without a consent from the spouse. In the cases where both spouses are registered as owners, the above situation is not considered as a bottleneck and the legal norm could be enforced without any danger of infringement of property rights. In the cases where only one of the spouses (partners) is registered, the unrecorded property right may be valid proof of ownership between the parties in litigation .
