Gaafar (2014) reports that customary law, which often discriminates against women and limits their land and property rights, still governs at least 65 per cent of land in Kenya, and the patriarchal nature of Kenyan society often limits the rights of even those women not living on land governed by custom. According to Gaafar, as little as one per cent of land in Kenya is titled in the names of women and as little as five to six per cent is titled jointly by women and men. This includes assets such as inventories and receivables, household goods and vehicles. Likewise, Liberia’s collateral registry has unlocked about $270 million of debt financing for SMEs (Twebaze, 2016).
