Abstract
Women’s land ownership remains a contemporary discourse in scholarship, especially from Sub-Saharan African countries. Using the case of peri-urban areas of Dar es Salaam, this study explores the disconnect between land policy reforms and culture, underscoring their contrasting forces in redefining the reality concerning women’s land ownership. A mixed-methods case study design employing structured questionnaires, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and document analysis enabled data collection. There are still significant inequalities in land ownership attributable to social and cultural norms in peri-urban areas, even after several legislative and policy reforms in Tanzania were made to facilitate land ownership for men and women. Systemic reforms and restructuring to foster effective land policy reforms for equity in the ownership of land, especially in societies with deep-rooted norms and values, are recommended. Land-focused advocates and lobbyists are needed to influence policy reforms that are gender-neutral and which can steer societal transformation away from patriarchal mindsets.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
